Round 1: Iowa DE A.J. Epenesa
That extra pick in the first round means Minnesota can go with the best player available at pick No. 25, and that’s what I did in drafting A.J. Epenesa. He was a force to deal with at Iowa, and can be a starter on the defensive line. If the Vikings want to bring back Everson Griffen, then the team still needs depth on the edge after the departure of Stephen Weatherly.
