Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Vikings a B-.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Vikings did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The cost of the Booker reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 1 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the 22nd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
