Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureD
The Vikings left with their quarterback, and a F to match.

The Vikings torched the value chart for Frank Gore Jr., taking him 34 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The whole projection now runs through Jayden Daniels; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The Vikings indulged a want in Solomon while a need in wide receiver and tight end stayed open.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with wide receiver still staring back at them.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get a passer to set the clock by. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick22 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In No. 22 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No drama and no debate, T'Vondre Sweat went about where he belonged in pick 42. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick50 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at pick No. 50 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick109 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Javon Solomon at OLB-EDGE with wide receiver and tight end open.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cody Schrader
A big swing on Cody Schrader at the 130th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick156 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at Round 5, Pick 20 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick166 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in the 166th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in pick 179 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick190 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at slot 190 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
