The Vikings move down only 15 spots in round three, picking up the last pick in the third round in 102. There isn’t a massive talent gap between the two picks and there are multiple players available that can help the Vikings, especially in the secondary.
The Vikings now have six picks in the remainder of the NFL draft.
- Round three, No. 102
- Round four, No. 119
- Round five, No. 158
- Round five, No. 164
- Round six, No. 211
- Round seven, No. 222
