Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings let Bassa fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Vikings did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jeffrey Bassa fell into Round 5, Pick 22. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
Nice patience on Matthew Golden, who had no business lasting to Round 1, Pick 24. The roster fit checks out.
Pick97 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in the 97th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick140 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
They will replay Hollin Pierce at pick 140 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at slot 161 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
