Looking back: What grade did the Vikings get for the 2023 NFL Draft?
The Minnesota Vikings' 2023 NFL Draft class received a C- grade from CBS Sports' Pete Prisco, which he maintained in a retrospective review. Out of six picks, only two players remain on the roster, with first-round receiver Jordan Addison showing promise. The overall performance of the draft class has been disappointing, reflecting ongoing challenges in the team's drafting history.
- ▪Pete Prisco originally graded the Vikings' 2023 draft class a C- and upheld that grade in a recent review.
- ▪Only two of the six draft picks are still on the roster, including first-round receiver Jordan Addison and fourth-round safety Jay Ward.
- ▪Addison has been productive, while the second-round pick, corner Mekhi Blackmon, faced injuries and is now with Indianapolis.
