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

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but MJ Sherman at slot 179 is 112 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

So much rides on Drake Maye that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The Corley steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 11th pick they get their quarterback of the future. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in the 42nd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108 Rnd4 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in pick 108 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick129 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
A slide stopped in pick No. 129, with Leonard Taylor III worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148 Rnd5 David Ugwoegbu
David Ugwoegbu in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick160 Rnd5 Gabe Hall
A big swing on Gabe Hall at No. 160, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in slot 168 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick179 Rnd6 MJ Sherman
A real head-scratcher, MJ Sherman in Round 6, Pick 4 is miles ahead of his ranking. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick230 Rnd7 Cody Simon
They reached a country mile for Cody Simon at the 230th pick, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
