Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureA+
Nix is the plan now, and the Vikings grade out a B.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Vikings spent their marquee pick on Bo Nix, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Lassiter pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kamari Lassiter at No. 42 is the proof. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick108 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dominick Puni in the 108th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in the 112th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick128 Rnd4 Beau Brade
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Beau Brade in slot 128. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
A tidy little value on Jaylin Simpson in pick No. 148, a step better than break-even. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick163 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at pick 163 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick164 Rnd5 Malik Washington
Malik Washington in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick179 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at pick No. 179 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick230 Rnd7 BJ Mayes
Value with a capital V on BJ Mayes in No. 230, a genuine coup. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
