Following the 2006 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings hired a guy by the name of Rick Spielman to be the team’s vice president of player personnel. Since then, Spielman has played a major part in who the Vikings decide to select with their draft picks each and every year.
Now Minnesota’s general manager, Spielman has been a part of the front office that has drafted a number of great players including Adrian Peterson, Everson Griffen, Xavier Rhodes, Harrison Smith, Anthony Barr, Eric Kendricks, and Stefon Diggs. Of course, not all of the Vikings’ draft selections have been amazing during Spielman’s tenure with the team.
