Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB
McCarthy is the Vikings' new face under center. Grade: B.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Vikings spent their marquee pick on J.J. McCarthy, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

If Okie-Anoma pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That Barrett pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 13 they get an island corner at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick27 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In No. 27 they get a franchise quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick109 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They took Braelon Allen at par in slot 109, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 13, with Zak Zinter worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson is a better player than pick No. 130 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in the Round 5 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick166 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Malik Mustapha at the 166th pick is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick179 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khristian Boyd. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick190 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Nice patience on Dwight McGlothern, who had no business lasting to No. 190. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Eyabi Okie-Anoma. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the 249th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
