Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Vikings for Higgins: B.

The Vikings did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jayden Higgins fell into the Round 3 slot.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Safety is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They let Walter Nolen come to them and pounced at No. 35. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at the 103rd overall pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick120 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
They paid sticker price for O'Donnell Fortune in Round 4, Pick 18, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jordan James
They will replay Jordan James at slot 139 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
You do not let a cornerback like Jacob Parrish reach pick No. 149 and blink. They did not. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick167 Rnd5 Tyler Cooper
No drama and no debate, Tyler Cooper went about where he belonged in the 167th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick178 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Seth McLaughlin in pick 178. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick187 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in slot 187 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
A slide stopped in the 188th overall pick, with Jack Nelson worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick211 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
A quiet steal in the 211th pick: Nazir Stackhouse for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
