Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings won the night they stopped Wilson from sliding. Grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jared Wilson got past him. The Vikings do not have to explain a thing at Round 5, Pick 1.

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

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get an island corner, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick97 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Devin Neal slipping to pick No. 97 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
They will replay Jared Wilson at slot 139 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick187 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ajani Cornelius at the 187th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
