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

When a board-topper like Trevor Etienne slides to the Round 6 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Vikings did not.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Jackson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In pick 24 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick97 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Value with a capital V on Ozzy Trapilo in Round 3, Pick 33, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon slid further than he should have, and No. 139 is lovely value for the linebacker. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick187 Rnd6 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne in slot 187 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
