Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureA+
More right than wrong for the Vikings, and a B to prove it.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Vikings shredded theirs for Jaylan Ford. He came off 42 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
They read the board right and Tyler Nubin was the payoff at pick 42. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the 65th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the 108th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick118 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at slot 118 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick128 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
A reach on Shemar Turner in pick No. 128; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in Round 5, Pick 12 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick154 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
No edge and no loss on Layden Robinson in pick 154; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick163 Rnd5 Sam Hartman
A premium they did not need to pay, Sam Hartman a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in the 173rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick230 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at No. 230 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick238 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
They took Kurtis Rourke at par in slot 238, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
