Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings let Parrish fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The board owed the Vikings one, and it paid up: Jacob Parrish, the No. 118 name on the board, sitting there at the 139th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Sawyer has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In the 24th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick97 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in pick 97 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in No. 139 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter at slot 187 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
