Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Grand theft in the 224th overall pick: the Vikings steal Marshall Jr. and grade out a B.

The Vikings spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jason Marshall Jr., the No. 204 name on the board, in the 224th pick. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They are betting Kiser proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the 36th pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at pick No. 71 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
No drama and no debate, Tez Johnson went about where he belonged in slot 98. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Good price on Cam Skattebo in No. 116, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick165 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
They paid up for Jack Kiser at the 171st overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in pick 184 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Nice patience on Jonah Monheim, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 11. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in the 224th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
