Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Vikings drew a line under the quarterback search with McCarthy: B+.

Start where it matters. The Vikings took J.J. McCarthy to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The Jones pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If Eichenberg pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Fair-plus on Tyler Guyton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104 Rnd4 Gabriel Murphy
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Gabriel Murphy in pick No. 104. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick108 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at the 108th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick129 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A reach on Tommy Eichenberg in Round 4, Pick 29; the board had better options right there. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick157 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
They read the board right and Ainias Smith was the payoff at slot 157. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick167 Rnd5 Christian Jones
The board fumbled Christian Jones all the way to pick 167, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They let Dwight McGlothern come to them and pounced at No. 177. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick230 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
The board had Garret Greenfield higher than Round 7, Pick 10, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick232 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
A tidy little value on Tatum Bethune in pick 232, a step better than break-even. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
