Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Vikings: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ashton Jeanty, pick No. 24, roughly 22 picks past where he belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Every board in the league had Roberts lower, and that gap is the story. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a lead back with juice, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jermari Harris
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jermari Harris at slot 97 is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Joshua Gray
A premium they did not need to pay, Joshua Gray a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
