Vikings select LB Troy Dye in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft

Troy Dye came off the board to the Minnesota Vikings at the end of the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Dye was a leader for the Oregon Ducks, racking up 391 tackles over the course of his career. He projects as a cover linebacker who can contribute on special teams thanks to his ability to get his nose dirty and tackle ball-carriers.

With 13 picks at their disposal on Day 3, the Vikings were free to take risky picks and add talent regardless of need. Dye is an athletic player with a ton of upside as a third linebacker, but he is not a sure-fire prospect.
