Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Vikings' one glaring miss is quarterback, a need they left exactly as they found it.

Reaching for James left real value on the table behind him. Sanders at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jordan James
A wild overpay on Jordan James in pick 97, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
They paid up for Luke Kandra at slot 139 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick187 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
The board had Raheim Sanders higher than the 187th overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
