Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall D
ValueD+ NeedB- TradesF FutureD
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Vikings to a D.

The Vikings looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jambres Dubar at pick 83 regardless, 408 picks early. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

They banked enough surplus on Scott to cover a lot of smaller sins. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick83 Rnd3 Jambres Dubar
Jambres Dubar in pick 83 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
They talked themselves into Jacob Rodriguez at pick No. 97, and the board did not agree. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaydn Ott
They reached a country mile for Jaydn Ott at slot 151, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161 Rnd5 Niki Prongos
They robbed the room for Niki Prongos here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick196 Rnd6 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at No. 196 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick234 Rnd7 Xavier Scott
Circle this one: Xavier Scott at the 234th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick235 Rnd7 Justin Joly
You do not let a tight end like Justin Joly reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
