Before getting too in-depth with the most intriguing upcoming prospects, however, Jeremy Bergman of NFL.com took a look back the 2017 season and graded each NFC North team’s rookie class. Bergman gave the Vikings a B , saying that “few teams capitalized on need with their first two picks better than the Vikings,” with which Minnesota selected running back Dalvin Cook and center Pat Elflein.
Cook racked up 354 yards on 74 carries before suffering a knee injury in Week 4, and Elflein started all 14 games he played at center.
