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

The Vikings looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jackson Slater at the 97th pick regardless, 51 picks early.

They banked enough surplus on James to cover a lot of smaller sins. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In the 24th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at Round 3, Pick 33 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jordan James
The board fumbled Jordan James all the way to the 139th pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick187 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper at pick No. 187 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
