Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Vikings drew a line under the quarterback search with McCarthy: A-.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Vikings spent their marquee pick on J.J. McCarthy, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

Rosengarten falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

They are betting McCarthy proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

In the end it comes back to J.J. McCarthy, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick 14 they get their quarterback of the future, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They did well to land Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in Round 2, Pick 6, just ahead of his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick106 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
Value with a capital V on Christian Mahogany in No. 106, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick108 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
No edge and no loss on Mekhi Wingo in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick142 Rnd5 Isaac Guerendo
Nice patience on Isaac Guerendo, who had no business lasting to slot 142. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They paid sticker price for Luke McCaffrey in the 146th overall pick, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick157 Rnd5 Marcus Harris
Marcus Harris at the 157th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick167 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Somehow Roger Rosengarten was still sitting there in pick No. 167, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick168 Rnd5 Hunter Nourzad
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Hunter Nourzad at the 168th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
They will replay Sione Vaki at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
They let Jordan Magee come to them and pounced at Round 7, Pick 10. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick232 Rnd7 Trey Knox
Trey Knox is a better player than pick 232 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
