Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings let Elliss fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jonah Elliss, the 109th pick, roughly 23 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Boyd pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a seam-stretching tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and J.J. McCarthy at No. 42 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jonah Elliss
A edge rusher of that caliber at pick 109 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They left a pile of value on the table to take Justin Eboigbe this early at the 130th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick156 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
They reached a country mile for Khristian Boyd at pick No. 156, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They went early on Ty'Ron Hopper in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick179 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden slid further than he should have, and slot 179 is lovely value for the cornerback. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick190 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
A tidy bit of business in the 190th overall pick, where Johnny Dixon graded well above the range. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
