Half the Vikings’ ten draft picks this year were spent on offensive and defensive line players, and of those five picks, only DE Danielle Hunter and OT T.J. Clemmings have a great shot of ever becoming starters. Of those two, Clemmings is the one who has the better shot of seeing action as a rookie.
LSU’s Hunter is a project player who has a slim chance of seeing action in year 1, but more likely will be red-shirted much as Scott Crichton was last year. 6th round D-lineman B.J. DuBose is a pure depth pick by Mike Zimmer who famously loves to rotate his up-front players.
