 Round 1, Pick 3 |
#3 | Matt Kalil | OT | USC |
| This should be the easiest pick to make for the Vikings. Kalil brings in great athletic ability to the left tackle position. He is possibly the best player in this draft who isn’t a QB.Previous Pick: Matt Kalil, OT, USC | ||||
|
Round 2, Pick 3 |
#35
|
Harrison Smith | SS | Notre Dame |
| Harrison is an ultra athletic safety who can use his speed to make plays on the back end of the defense.Previous Pick: Rueben Randle, WR, LSU | ||||
|
Round 3, Pick 3 |
#66
|
Nick Toon | WR | Wisconsin |
| Son of Al Toon, a great former NFL WR, Nick has all the abilities to be a play maker in the NFL. He’s the complete package of WR’s. Great size and hands, excels running routes and knows how to create space between him and the corners he faces. He’s not a burner but he’s always finding open space to make a play.Previous Pick: Ryan Miller, OG, Colorado | ||||
|
Round 4, Pick 3 |
#98
|
Chase Minnifield | CB | Virginia |
| Chase has seen his stock fall some but the talent is there. Minnifield is a younger version of Antoine Winfield, solid in both man and zone Minnifield is also not afraid to lower his pads and make a tackle.Previous Pick: Brandon Boykin, CB/KR | ||||
|
Round 4, Pick 33* |
#128
|
Ryan Miller | OG | Colorado |
| The value of Miller at this pick is just to great to pass up. Miller could come into training camp and compete for a starting job day one.Previous Pick: Antonio Allen, SS, Clemson | ||||
|
Round 4, Pick 39* |
#134
|
Marcus Forton | DT | Miami |
| Is strong against the run and could fill a rotation role to start his career. Could become the next nose tackle of the Vikings strong run defense.Previous Pick: Marcus Fortson, DT, Miami | ||||
|
Round 5, Pick 3 |
#138
|
Brandon Lindsey | OLB | Pittsburgh |
| A second team All-Big East Linebacker, could come in and have an impact on special teams as a rookie. With time could develop into a nice outside linebacker in the Vikings system.Previous Pick: Brandon Lindsey, OLB, Pittsburgh | ||||
|
Round 6, Pick 5 |
#175
|
Tom Compton | OT | South Dakota |
| Compton brings great size(6’6″ 312lbs) and athletic ability. In time could develop into a solid right tackle.Previous Pick: Coty Sensabaugh, CB, Clemson | ||||
|
Round 7, Pick 3 |
#210
|
Vontaze Burfict | ILB | Arizona State |
| Burfict has fell far but has huge talent. A late round flier pick that could turn into the steal of the draft if coaches can get him to change his ways.Previous Pick: Ron Brooks, CB, LSU | ||||
|
Round 7, Pick 16 |
#223
|
Carson Wiggs | K | Purdue |
| Huge leg, hit a 67 yard field goal in a spring game at Purdue. The Vikings have an aging kicker and Wiggs would solve the kicking problems for the Vikings.Previous Pick: Carson Wiggs, K, Purdue | ||||
