Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall C
ValueF NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings land in the muddy middle: C.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jaiden Ausberry at the Round 3 slot, a reach of 310 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The Elarms-Orr pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Keionte Scott
They reached into another round for Keionte Scott, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick49 Rnd2 Roderick Kearney
Value said wait; Roderick Kearney in pick 49 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson at pick No. 82 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jaiden Ausberry
A real head-scratcher, Jaiden Ausberry in Round 3, Pick 33 is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick163 Rnd5 Eli Raridon
They barely believed it either: Eli Raridon still on the board at No. 163. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick196 Rnd6 Dane Key
They went early on Dane Key in the 196th pick, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Denver Harris
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Denver Harris. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick235 Rnd7 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
Kaleb Elarms-Orr in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick244 Rnd7 Josh Cuevas
By-the-book stuff, Josh Cuevas at the 244th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
