Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings won the night they stopped Johnson from sliding. Grade: B.

Call it larceny. Kaleb Johnson sat on the board until pick No. 97, and the Vikings did not need to be asked twice. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 24 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
They barely believed it either: Kaleb Johnson still on the board at pick No. 97. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at slot 140 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater is a better player than the Round 5 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
