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

Call it larceny. Khyree Jackson sat on the board until pick 148, and the Vikings did not need to be asked twice.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Reaching for Logue left real value on the table behind him.

The Devin White pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 26th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at No. 42 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick46 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Guyton in the Round 2 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
A slide stopped in slot 58, with Devontez Walker worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Josh Newton
They barely believed it either: Josh Newton still on the board at Round 3, Pick 26. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick108 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Value with a capital V on Audric Estime in the 108th pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick129 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Nothing to complain about; Justin Eboigbe went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in pick 148 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick160 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A clean, defensible pick in the 160th pick with a little surplus value in Edefuan Ulofoshio. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick168 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in No. 168 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick179 Rnd6 Trey Knox
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Knox at Round 6, Pick 4, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick230 Rnd7 Mark Perry
They paid up for Mark Perry at pick 230 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick235 Rnd7 Zion Logue
They paid a round early for Zion Logue in slot 235, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
