Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Vikings: B-.

Every other box got a look, but quarterback did not. The Vikings will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.

The Ferguson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick No. 24 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick97 Rnd3 Terrance Ferguson
They liked Terrance Ferguson enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Emery Jones Jr. at No. 139 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on JJ Pegues. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
