Draft Wire assesses the draft value of Vikings WR Justin Jefferson, CB Jeff Gladney

Draft Wire analyzed the Vikings’ two first-round draft picks, based on predraft rankings. See how they did!

Our friends at Draft Wire recently compared the big board ranking of each first-round draftee to where they were actually selected.

When it came to the Vikings picks, the team broke even on their value, according to Draft Wire.

Here are the two first-round draftees, with an explanation for their given value:

WR Justin Jefferson

The wide receiver out of LSU could be a big contributor for the Vikings in 2020, after losing Stefon Diggs in a trade.

However, Draft Wire had Jefferson’s value a little worse than where he was picked. The outlet had him at No. 29, despite going to Minnesota at No. 22, giving the pick a value difference of -7.
