10 most valuable Vikings draft picks of last decade

See the 10 most valuable Vikings draft picks of the last decade, determined by Pro Football Reference’s Career Approximate Value.

S Harrison Smith, first round, 2012

Smith made an instant impact for the Vikings after getting drafted at No. 29 overall.

He had a sack, three interceptions and two defensive touchdowns as a rookie. Since then, he has become a player known for creating pressure on blitzes and being effective in coverage back deep.

It’s 2020, and Smith will still probably have to be a vital part of the Vikings’ defense once again.

Career Approximate Value: 56
