A draft and more: NFL's final big roster-building stretch of the offseason is crucial for Vikings

The Vikings, at the moment, have only five picks for the second draft of Kwesi Adofo-Mensah's and Kevin O'Connell's time running the team. They will not be on the clock until the 23rd pick of the first round and are not slated to pick again until the 87th overall choice in the third round.

In some ways, though, the actions the Vikings take in the next two weeks could have a more significant effect on the future of the organization than the moves they made in Adofo-Mensah's first draft.

Draft weekend could bring more clarity to the future of edge rusher Za'Darius Smith, who posted his goodbye to Minnesota on social media in March and might be traded if the Vikings can find the right fit.
