Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Vikings: B-.

The tape said wait; the Vikings did not. Da'Shawn Womack went at Round 7, Pick 20, a good 63 picks before the board was ready. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Mathews Jr. pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Castell. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In No. 18 they get a lead back with juice at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick57 Rnd2 Keon Sabb
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Keon Sabb. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at slot 80 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick92 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at pick No. 92 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97 Rnd3 Parker Brailsford
This one needs a full-page explanation: Parker Brailsford in the 97th pick, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Scott at the 102nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback to take Jermaine Mathews Jr., a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick169 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
They went early on Oscar Delp in pick 169, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick212 Rnd6 Barion Brown
A real head-scratcher, Barion Brown in the 212th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jordan Castell
They let Jordan Castell come to them and pounced at No. 235. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick237 Rnd7 Da'Shawn Womack
Da'Shawn Womack at pick No. 237 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
