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

CB Xavier Rhodes, first round, 2013

Rhodes quickly lived up to the hype of his high draft pick. As a rookie he tallied 10 pass deflections in just six starts.

Rhodes broke out and became a Pro Bowler in 2016. The next year, he shut down wideouts such as Julio Jones, Odell Beckham Jr., Mike Evans and Michael Thomas en route to another Pro Bowl, and a first-team All-Pro selection.

He didn’t finish strong with the Vikings, but now he has a chance to put together a resurgent season with the Colts.

Career Approximate Value: 41
