Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
The Vikings did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Cobee Bryant pick is the one that will follow the Vikings into the fall. They took him 43 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Vikings indulged a want in Bryant while a need in quarterback, edge rusher and other spots stayed open. On value alone, Nash makes the weekend a net positive.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In pick 30 they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
Pick63 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts is a better player than the 63rd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick97 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They paid sticker price for Cam Skattebo in pick No. 97, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots to take Cobee Bryant, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick161 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They will replay Nick Nash at No. 161 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick218 Rnd6 Cody Lindenberg
Value said wait; Cody Lindenberg in Round 6, Pick 40 says they were not listening. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick256 Rnd7 Quinn Carroll
A wild overpay on Quinn Carroll in pick 256, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
