Round 1, Pick 11 (11)
Trae Waynes CB 6'0" 186
Michigan St. 6.3
Pick Analysis: "If you're looking for a press cornerback -- and, trust me, Mike Zimmer loves his corners -- this is the guy. Waynes is very comfortable in press coverage. And, if you play defense at Michigan State, you're well-coached." -- Mike Mayock
Round 2, Pick 13 (45)
Eric Kendricks ILB 6'0" 232
UCLA 5.8
Pick Analysis: "I think we can say with certainty that the Vikings like linebackers from UCLA. They drafted Anthony Barr last year and now they take Eric Kendricks. His instincts are outstanding; he can get through the trash. He will team nicely with Barr." -- Daniel Jeremiah
Round 3, Pick 24 (88) (from Lions)
Danielle Hunter DE 6'5" 252
LSU 5.6
Pick Analysis: "This prospect was polarizing, positive or negative. There is no doubt he's a physical specimen with considerable upside, but he was nowhere near ready to come out of LSU. He still has to learn how to play football." -- Mike Mayock
Round 4, Pick 11 (110)
T.J. Clemmings OT 6'5" 309
Pittsburgh 5.9
Pick Analysis: Vikings could look back at this pick in a year or two and realize how much of a steal Clemmings was. Injury concerns pushed him down the board but Clemmings has the athleticism to develop into a staple at left or right tackle. --Mark Dulgerian
Round 5, Pick 7 (143) (from Lions through Broncos and Bears)
MyCole Pruitt TE 6'2" 251
Southern Illinois 5.2
Pick Analysis: The 2-time FCS All American showed that his skills translated well against quality competition at the Shrine Game. He lacks the athleticism and size to stretch the seams but he can contribute as a move tight end in sub packages. --Mark Dulgerian
Round 5, Pick 10 (146) (from Falcons)
Stefon Diggs WR 6'0" 195
Maryland 5.5
Pick Analysis: Norv Turner should have fun plugging in this "swiss army knife" weapon into his offense. He has home run ability after the catch and adds value as a returner as well. --Mark Dulgerian
Round 6, Pick 9 (185) (from Falcons)
Tyrus Thompson OT 6'5" 324
Oklahoma 5.3
Round 6, Pick 17 (193) (from Chiefs)
B.J. Dubose DE 6'4" 284
Louisville 5.2
Pick Analysis: The Vikings land a scrappy leverage player who needs considerable development into a specific role. Mike Zimmer has a history of maximizing the talents of his defensive linemen so this could be a player to watch down the line. --Mark Dulgerian
Round 7, Pick 11 (228)
Austin Shepherd OT 6'4" 315
Alabama 5.2
Pick Analysis: Minnesota will love Shepherd's coachability. He's a fighter who won with effort against SEC opponents. His ceiling is that of a backup as he lacks special NFL traits. --Mark Dulgerian
Round 7, Pick 15 (232) (from 49ers through Dolphins)
Edmond Robinson OLB 6'3" 245
Newberry 4.9
Pick Analysis: Edmond Robinson is the first D2 player to be selected in this year's draft. He's a plus athlete with upside on the edge but there is alot of projection with this pick. --Mark Dulgerian
interesting draft... kinda All-Al.... Zimmer really swung from the fences on draft day... added alotta speed/athleticism to their D.
