Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureA+
The Vikings left with their quarterback, and a A- to match.

The search is over. The Vikings handed the keys to J.J. McCarthy, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McCormick. The cost of the Jackson reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Bottom line, with J.J. McCarthy leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In slot 24 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick32 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick 32 they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick109 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in No. 109 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
A reach on Nelson Ceaser in the 130th pick; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick156 Rnd5 Beau Brade
Taking Beau Brade in pick No. 156 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
No edge and no loss on Luke McCaffrey in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jordan Travis at Round 5, Pick 37 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick179 Rnd6 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in the 179th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick190 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Nice patience on Dwight McGlothern, who had no business lasting to the Round 6 slot. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
