Minnesota Vikings: Grading every 2018 NFL Draft pick
The 2018 NFL Draft is over, and the Minnesota Vikings draft grades are ready for your consumption after a weekend with some questionable choices.
It’s all over in Dallas. The 2018 NFL Draft is in the books. The Minnesota Vikings have officially added eight names to their roster, and we’re now one step closer to the beginning of the 2018 campaign. Before we get there, though, we have draft grades to hand out.
Unfortunately, they weren’t all great for the Vikings this year. While that’s not to say they put together a poor draft class (at least on paper), there were some mistakes made in the early rounds. Minnesota went with what seemed like a BPA selection on Day 1, which then threw their plan out of whack for the second round.
While that may be the case, Rick Spielman saved the class a bit with some outstanding selections on Day 3. Although it’s unclear what some of those late-round picks can do as rookies, almost all of them offer significant intrigue and long-term upside.
Instead of giving you vague insight into the class, though, let’s dive right into the Minnesota Vikings draft grades now that the 2018 NFL Draft has come to a close. You may not agree with all of them, but these are my opinions on the newest arrivals in the Twin Cities — deal with it.
