Somebody took the Vikings to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

Jayden Daniels gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at safety, running back and other spots.

The Nugent pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Getting Wilson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and safety is still a hole.
