I agree monster. The Vikings selections pretty much played out exactly how I was hoping it would, defensive help first, with OL depth across the board. I liked the pick in Clemmings a lot as well.

First impression that it seems like a solid draft. Looking forward to seeing how everything comes together for next season.

I loved Stefon Diggs by the way. I wanted him for my Chargers.

Vikings also managed to grab Anthony Harris, Safety from Virginia. Little perplexed on why he didn't get drafted, other than his shoulder injury preventing him from working out much. He's clearly the best of the UDFAs they've locked up so far.

At 6'1 and under 190lbs that's a pretty light safety. I'm not counting the guy out but it's probably a big factor. I think he is just an example of just how much talent is available to NFL teams. The difference is talent from late 4th round or so to the top UFA may not be too large of a gap. Those 7th round picks have value because you know you can have them on your team as opposed to hopefully signing them to your team. The Vikings must have really wanted (relatively speaking) that Old Dominion QB they gave him the most they have ever given anyone of the UFA pool. I am not sure how significant that is though but it's fun to note anyway.

Edit: looks like it was the shoulder that was a big part of why Ant slipped to being undrafted he didn't practice yet.

Tiny retired and Wentworth has a medical issue that sounds like his career is over also. It makes even more sense that they grabbed 3 lineman in this draft and probably an additional reason why Speilman was more than willing to trade back to pick up more picks.
