It's not very often that you pick three straight defenders and each one of them is the best option available on the board at that time. The Vikings did just that, securing CB Trae Waynes, UCLA middle lineabacker Eric Kendricks, and LSU pass rusher Danielle Hunter in rounds 1 through 3 — all three of which could be major impact players before long. Add one of the best offensive line value picks in Pittsburgh’s TJ Clemmings (4th round), and this is a draft Vikes fans can easily get behind.
