Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall D
ValueF NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings fought the board and lost. D.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Vikings spent Round 1, Pick 24 on Quincy Riley, a name most had 147 spots down the list. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Quincy Riley
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary, a steep price for the projection. More want than need.
Pick97 Rnd3 Donovan Edwards
A real head-scratcher, Donovan Edwards in Round 3, Pick 33 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick140 Rnd5 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at slot 140 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker in the 161st overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
