Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B.

The Vikings spent the pick that matters most on Drake Maye, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

They are betting All proves the room right and everyone else wrong. However the rest shakes out, Brownlee Jr. at that price is a win they earned.

A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In No. 11 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick No. 23 they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick108 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
They took Leonard Taylor III at par in slot 108, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. is a better player than the 129th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick157 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Trevor Keegan in the 157th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Tahj Washington
A big swing on Tahj Washington at Round 5, Pick 31, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick177 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All at pick 177 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
