Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Phillips should have been long gone. The Vikings pounced, and earned a B.

The board owed the Vikings one, and it paid up: Jordan Phillips, the No. 108 name on the board, sitting there at Round 5, Pick 1 like a gift left on the doorstep. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: safety settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick No. 24 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that.
Pick97 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A tidy bit of business in slot 97, where Andrew Mukuba graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at Round 5, Pick 1 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Nice patience on Jack Nelson, who had no business lasting to the Round 6 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
