EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — There was plenty of buzz leading up to the draft that the Vikings could boost their offensive line in the second round.
After Minnesota went with Florida State running back Dalvin Cook with the 41st overall pick Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman said Cook’s talents can help improve the unit’s results.
Cook, a two-time All-American, totaled 4,464 rushing yards and 46 touchdowns on 687 carries (6.5 yards per carry) in college. He added 79 receptions for 935 yards.
Spielman, who met with the media Friday night after the Vikings took Cook, said he believes the running back can help create offense in Minnesota.
