Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureA
The Vikings kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named edge rusher, a need the Vikings walked right past. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Gould falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In slot 21 they get an island corner at fair value.
Pick35 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A reasonable price with a little left over, J.J. McCarthy in the 35th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Good price on Will Shipley in No. 109, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick120 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on McKinnley Jackson at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at Round 5, Pick 20 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick166 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
Fair-plus on Trevor Keegan, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick179 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
Value with a capital V on Anthony Gould in pick No. 179, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
