Twitter offered its take on the Vikings adding Hughes:

Ian Rapoport

The #Vikings had trade offers, but take #UCF CB Mike Hughes. He had off the field issues, but can’t argue with the talent. He goes No. 30.

Ben Goessling

Vikings select Central Florida CB Mike Hughes with the 30th overall pick. They had him in before the draft; he'll give them another option at nickel, and potentially as a return man.
