Grading the Vikings 2019 NFL Draft class after year one
By Nik Edlund
With a full regular season under their belts, what grades do each of the Minnesota Vikings rookies from their 2019 rookie class deserve?
The Minnesota Vikings 2019 regular season is over. Currently, the Vikings are still alive in the playoffs after a huge upset of the New Orleans Saints.
With the regular season over, however, evaluations for Minnesota can begin. There’s no better place to start than with the 2019 rookie class of the Purple.
Many of the Vikings rookies from their most recent draft class played every single week in 2019. Some played very well and even had key roles in helping Minnesota reach the playoffs this year.
We will break down each selection and give them two grades. One will be based on production and the other will be based on performance. Once all the marks are tallied, the overall draft grade will be given out.
This grade will be based on year one only and will not attempt to project how any of these rookies will fare in year two or even further down the road.
Now that the grading criteria is out of the way, it’s time to look at Rick Spielman’s 2019 NFL Draft class and grade this bad boy after year one.
