Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureD
The Vikings answered their biggest question with McCarthy. Grade: C+.

The Vikings spent the pick that matters most on J.J. McCarthy, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Torrence. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. If McCarthy pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In slot 4 they get a long-term answer under center, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick66 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
Taking T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 66 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at the 108th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick129 Rnd4 James Williams
A tidy little value on James Williams in Round 4, Pick 29, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick157 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jaylin Simpson in pick 167, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick177 Rnd6 Layden Robinson
No drama and no debate, Layden Robinson went about where he belonged in the 177th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick230 Rnd7 Justin Rogers
Circle this one: Justin Rogers at No. 230 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232 Rnd7 Ro Torrence
Somehow Ro Torrence was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
