Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Vikings drew a line under the quarterback search with McCarthy: D.

Nobody had Tahj Washington this high, and it is not close. The Vikings reached 126 spots to get him at pick No. 225. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. J.J. McCarthy gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. They will answer for taking cornerback early while tight end went begging.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In slot 30 they get their guy under center for the next decade, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A tidy little value on Troy Fautanu in pick 35, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They jumped the gun on T'Vondre Sweat, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
By-the-book stuff, Cooper Beebe at Round 3, Pick 9 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A conviction pick on Sedrick Van Pran at the 80th overall pick that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at Round 4, Pick 8 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick115 Rnd4 James Williams
The board had cheaper options than James Williams at pick No. 115, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Kris Abrams-Draine while clear needs at tight end sat open.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Cam Hart in slot 133 leaves tight end for later.
Pick148 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube at pick 148 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick160 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Gabe Hall
They reached into another round for Gabe Hall, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick179 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at No. 179 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick188 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on De'Corian Clark. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
They talked themselves into Tahj Washington at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick227 Rnd7 Phil Jurkovec
A straight-up fair deal on Phil Jurkovec at slot 227, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick230 Rnd7 Kedon Slovis
No drama and no debate, Kedon Slovis went about where he belonged in No. 230. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
