Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureC
Milroe is the plan now, and the Vikings grade out a D-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Vikings did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

The whole projection now runs through Jalen Milroe; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They banked enough surplus on Burks to cover a lot of smaller sins.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 5th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick31 Rnd1 Jalen Milroe
In pick 31 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick239 Rnd7 Deion Burks
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 25 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
