Vikings take quarterback Jaren Hall from BYU, defensive lineman Jaquelin Roy of LSU in fifth round

The Vikings used their two picks in the fifth round to take a QB flier on BYU's Jaren Hall, the seventh passer selected on Day 3 and the 12th overall in this year's draft, and to address an under-the-radar need for an inside pass rusher.

The Vikings traded up 17 spots with Indianapolis and used the 141st pick on LSU's Jaquelin Roy, a 6-3, 305-pound defensive tackle with the potential to provide an interior pass rush the team has lacked for some time. The Colts got the Vikings' first fifth-round pick (158th) and a sixth-rounder (211th).

The VIkings used the 164th pick on the 6-foot, 207-pound Hall, who draft analyst Lance Zierlein described as "an undersized pocket quarterback with unimpressive arm strength.
