Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings let Phillips fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Somebody in pick No. 161 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Vikings sat still while Jordan Phillips, the No. 109 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with safety chief among the fixes.

The back end got a real overhaul.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 24th overall pick they get a centerfielder for the defense. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick97 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A quiet steal in the 97th pick: Donovan Jackson for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick140 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick No. 140 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Circle this one: Jordan Phillips at No. 161 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
