Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Majors should have been long gone. The Vikings pounced, and earned a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jake Majors, the 229th overall pick, roughly 127 picks past where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Thornton Jr. has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick57 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
They barely believed it either: Ashton Jeanty still on the board at the Round 2 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
You do not let a cornerback like Jahdae Barron reach slot 74 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick97 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
They robbed the room for Walter Nolen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110 Rnd4 Grey Zabel
Grey Zabel in No. 110 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Steal is underselling it; Quinshon Judkins at pick No. 113 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick140 Rnd5 Maxwell Hairston
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Maxwell Hairston in pick 140, plain and simple. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at Round 5, Pick 2 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick147 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dont'e Thornton Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in pick 161 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick164 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in No. 164 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jake Majors
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 229th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
