Josh DRAFTING FOR THEVikings

Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall

FutureB-
Majors should have been long gone. The Vikings pounced, and earned a B. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jake Majors, No. 160, roughly 58 picks past where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Safety is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In pick 27 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick91
Rnd3
Devin Neal
Devin Neal is a better player than the 91st pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick97
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Nice patience on Donovan Jackson, who had no business lasting to the 97th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick136
Rnd4
Gunnar Helm
A tight end of that caliber at No. 136 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in Round 5, Pick 1 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick160
Rnd5
Jake Majors
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick176
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, O'Donnell Fortune in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick212
Rnd6
Cobee Bryant
Taking Cobee Bryant in pick No. 212 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
