Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Vikings: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Vikings started one anyway for Peter Clarke, 31 picks ahead of schedule. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Suntarine Perkins
In slot 18 they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Peter Clarke
They talked themselves into Peter Clarke at pick No. 49, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick82 Rnd3 Nyck Harbor
The board had cheaper options than Nyck Harbor at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick97 Rnd3 Iapani Laloulu
No edge and no loss on Iapani Laloulu in Round 3, Pick 33; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. at pick 161 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick194 Rnd6 Donovan Jones
A premium they did not need to pay, Donovan Jones a notch or two before his time. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick234 Rnd7 Anthony Evans III
A reach on Anthony Evans III in pick No. 234; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240 Rnd7 Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah in No. 240 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
