Four NFL teams received low draft grades, including the Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings, despite concerns about their first-round pick Caleb Banks, have potential for future success if they can develop their players effectively.
Mentioned in this story
The teams that received the lowest draft grades are the Denver Broncos, Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Rams, and Minnesota Vikings.
Concerns include Caleb Banks' injury history and the team's failure to adequately address their secondary needs.
If the Vikings can effectively develop their players, particularly Caleb Banks and Jake Golday, they could see significant improvements and potentially turn their draft class into a success.
The Broncos had limited picks due to the Jaylen Waddle trade and failed to find significant value at key positions.

The incredibly easy way out would be to say it’s the Rams because Ty Simpson could be their future franchise QB. Instead, my pick here is the **Minnesota Vikings**. The Vikings operated this draft without a full-time general manager in place, putting more pressure on head coach Kevin O’Connell and defensive coordinator Brian Flores to shoulder the burden. All indications are that Caleb Banks was a player Flores identified as having high potential, and when it comes to an eye for defensive talent and knowing how to use players, nobody is better than Brian Flores. Many of Banks’ issues *are* correctable. The foot injury history is worrisome, but he’s violent, athletic, and long — in short bursts. Getting him into an NFL conditioning program can increase his stamina, shed some of the bad weight he gained due to injury, and with some technique tutelage he really could become a monster in the NFL. Second-round pick Jake Golday is a player to watch too. There are reasons I didn’t love him as a prospect when it came to his play recognition and football understanding when paired with below-average quickness — but the issues with his speed can be ameliorated by making him a better student of the game. If the Vikings can make it so his first step is always in the right direction then the concerns about his recovery speed melt away. This is really a shared trait down the Vikings draft. They have a lot of players who need major work in the film, gym, or both. If the team can develop all these players there’s a real chance we look back in a few years at a class which netter 4-5 starters, and if that happens it would immediately turn into an A+ class.
