In the 2015 NFL draft, the Minnesota Vikings selected Trae Waynes, cornerback from Michigan State with the eleventh overall pick. Waynes was widely thought of as the best cornerback in the draft, and when he was selected by Mike Zimmer, a coach known for his ability to coach up defensive backs, it seemed like a match made in heaven. Unfortunately, Waynes only started one game of the 2015 NFL season and that was because of an injury. While some people are already calling him a bust, I wanted to dive deeper and take a look at Zimmer’s history with highly drafted defensive backs to see if Waynes’ first year is an abnormality or something we should be worried about.
