Draft Grade — Vikings

FutureB
The Vikings let Johnson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Dillon Johnson, Round 6, Pick 15, roughly 21 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In the 15th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. More want than need.
Pick38
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at the 38th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick46
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Adisa Isaac. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109
Rnd4
Malik Washington
Malik Washington slid further than he should have, and slot 109 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick130
Rnd4
James Williams
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing James Williams in pick No. 130. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166
Rnd5
Javion Cohen
They took Javion Cohen at par in pick 166, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick179
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in No. 179 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick190
Rnd6
Dillon Johnson
A running back of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick232
Rnd7
Jaden Crumedy
Nothing to complain about; Jaden Crumedy went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
