Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB FutureD
A passer of the future in Daniels, and a B-, for the Vikings.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Vikings' quarterback, full stop. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The cost of the Hunt reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get their quarterback of the future. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Worthy at Round 2, Pick 12 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalyx Hunt in the 108th overall pick, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
A premium they did not need to pay, Elijah Jones a notch or two before his time. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick157 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams in pick 157 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick167 Rnd5 Decamerion Richardson
No edge and no loss on Decamerion Richardson in pick No. 167; it is a wash and a sensible one. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick177 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze at the 177th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick230 Rnd7 Trente Jones
Trente Jones at slot 230 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick232 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Carson Steele at the 232nd overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
