Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC FutureA+
The Vikings finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B.

The Vikings spent the pick that matters most on J.J. McCarthy, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They will answer for taking cornerback early while tight end went begging. Reaching for McCarthy left real value on the table behind him. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The McClellan pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick No. 23 they get the arm they will build around, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A straight-up fair deal on Chris Braswell at the 55th pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at pick 86 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick108 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
By-the-book stuff, Leonard Taylor III at the 108th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick112 Rnd4 Max Melton
A want over a need in Round 4, Pick 12: Max Melton adds a cornerback while tight end keeps waiting.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in No. 129 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Nothing to complain about; Luke McCaffrey went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Sincere Haynesworth
No edge and no loss on Sincere Haynesworth in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160 Rnd5 Cedric Johnson
They paid sticker price for Cedric Johnson in the 160th overall pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
No drama and no debate, Layden Robinson went about where he belonged in pick No. 168. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick179 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
A quiet steal in Round 7, Pick 10: Jase McClellan for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
