Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA FutureD-
Nobody dealt better than the Vikings this weekend: B-.

Whoever sat across the table from the Vikings should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Hart. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They took J.J. McCarthy at par in the 42nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
The board had Kamari Lassiter higher than Round 2, Pick 16, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart is a better player than pick 109 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick130 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in slot 130 with a little surplus value in McKinnley Jackson. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dallin Holker. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
A quiet steal in pick No. 156: Tykee Smith for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen in No. 166 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179 Rnd6 Dillon Johnson
They read the board right and Dillon Johnson was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 4. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson slipping to pick No. 190 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
