Minnesota Vikings
It was a banner night for the Vikings in the first round, as they hit both picks out of the park with stellar values at key positions of need. LSU wide receiver Justin Jefferson should never have gotten to them at No. 22, and landing TCU corner Jeff Gladney after trading back to No. 31 was even better.
Boise State’s Ezra Cleveland is a nasty offensive tackle who gives them quality depth, and Mississippi State’s Cameron Dantzler is a big, long corner who shut down the SEC’s best receivers on a weekly basis.
Day 3 was a mixed bag, but with quite a few solid value picks (Baylor defensive lineman James Lynch, Oregon linebacker Troy Dye, Michigan State edge defender Kenny Willekes). The early picks are what carry this class, though, and they’re fantastic.
