Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings let James fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jordan James at the 139th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They are betting Frazier proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick 24 they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick97 Rnd3 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at the 97th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jordan James
They will replay Jordan James at Round 5, Pick 1 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick187 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ajani Cornelius in the 187th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
