Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB+ TradesC- FutureC
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Vikings: C+.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jackson Slater at No. 87 is 62 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In the 24th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick72 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
They did well to land Quinshon Judkins in pick No. 72, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater in slot 87 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
A real head-scratcher, Quincy Riley in pick 139 is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
