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.

DE Everson Griffen, fourth round, 2010

Griffen, a defensive end out of USC, didn’t make a huge impact on the field until 2012. That’s when he started to find success down the stretch of that year, finishing with eight sacks in total.

From there, Griffen got better, tallying double-digit sack totals three different times as a Vikings player.

He announced this offseason that he was leaving Minnesota, but has yet to sign elsewhere. Regardless of where he goes this offseason, he should be remembered fondly by many Vikings fans.

Career Approximate Value: 61
