CB Jeff Gladney
When the Vikings traded back in the first round of the NFL Draft, I was worried.
I thought that a player like Gladney might be gone by the time the team has a chance to pick at No. 31. However, that didn’t happen, and the team took Gladney at that slot.
Draft Wire had Gladney at No. 24 on their board, despite the team getting him at No. 31. That’s a value of +7, helping Minnesota break even on its first-round choices.
