Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Penix Jr. is the Vikings' new face under center. Grade: B.

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

Barrett has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

Getting Abrams-Draine where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a franchise quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Fair-plus on Chop Robinson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick108 Rnd4 Junior Colson
No drama and no debate, Junior Colson went about where he belonged in the 108th pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick128 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
The board had Kris Abrams-Draine higher than the Round 4 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Good price on Jaylin Simpson in slot 148, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick163 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at pick No. 163 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick164 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in No. 164 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick179 Rnd6 Justin Eboigbe
No edge and no loss on Justin Eboigbe in the 179th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Edefuan Ulofoshio well ahead of where he belonged. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
