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.

LB Anthony Barr, first round, 2014

Barr was drafted ninth overall by the Vikings. He has become a polarizing figure for his play during his time in Minnesota.

Some think that he’s a stellar player in coverage who doesn’t get enough credit because his stats aren’t always high. On the other hand, Barr signed a big deal and was a high draft pick, so some people think he hasn’t lived up to his value.

Pro Football Focus recently named him to its one-year wonder team. Pro Football Reference, however, feels differently about Barr’s level of play.

Career Approximate Value: 47
