Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Daniels, and a B, for the Vikings.

The Vikings spent the pick that matters most on Jayden Daniels, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

Reaching for Jean-Baptiste left real value on the table behind him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In No. 11 they get their quarterback of the future. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in pick 23 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick108 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at pick No. 108 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick129 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at Round 4, Pick 29 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick157 Rnd5 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at slot 157 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick167 Rnd5 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jared Wiley at the 177th pick is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick230 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
They went early on Donovan Jennings in the 230th overall pick, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in pick 232 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
