Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall C
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Vikings. For now, C.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Vikings started one anyway for Gerry Bohanon, 253 picks ahead of schedule. A weekend of give and take that grades a C.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

Hit on Colston Loveland and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
They took Colston Loveland at par in the 24th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Francisco Mauigoa
A wild overpay on Francisco Mauigoa in pick 97, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at the 139th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Gerry Bohanon
Gerry Bohanon at No. 187 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
