Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Vikings, and a B- to prove it.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Cam Jackson at the Round 6 slot is 42 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Gordon II falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
The board had Omarion Hampton higher than pick No. 42, and the running back fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick73 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
No edge and no loss on Elijah Arroyo in the 73rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
They went early on Jordan Phillips in No. 97, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
They paid sticker price for Billy Bowman Jr. in the 110th pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at slot 139 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick145 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
A premium they did not need to pay, Bhayshul Tuten a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick162 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune in pick No. 162 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick186 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Value said wait; Luke Lachey in the 186th overall pick says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick187 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in slot 187 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick207 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Taking Ollie Gordon II in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
