Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD+ FutureA-
The Vikings bet the future on McCarthy. The board says B-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. J.J. McCarthy is the Vikings' quarterback, full stop. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Rosemy-Jacksaint pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
In pick 24 they get a sticky cover corner, though they paid up to get him. More want than need.
Pick32 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
They jumped the gun on J.J. McCarthy, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Audric Estime slid further than he should have, and pick No. 109 is lovely value for the running back. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A quiet steal in No. 130: Darius Robinson for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick145 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg is a better player than Round 5, Pick 9 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick157 Rnd5 Renardo Green
A reasonable price with a little left over, Renardo Green in the 157th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Fair-plus on Jaylin Simpson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick179 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A tidy little value on Zion Tupuola-Fetui in slot 179, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Erick All
Erick All at pick 227 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
