Grades And Analysis Of The Minnesota Vikings' Entire 2015 NFL Draft

The 2015 NFL Draft has reached its conclusion, and it's time to look back on just what the Minnesota Vikings did in Chicago and how it sets them up for the future. Here's our Grades And Analysis Of The Minnesota Vikings' Entire 2015 NFL Draft.

Picks:

(All player grades based on spot selected, need, etc.)

1st Round: Michigan State CB Trae Waynes [Grade: A+]

2nd Round: UCLA ILB Eric Kendricks [Grade: A]

3rd Round: LSU DE Danielle Hunter [Grade: A]

4th Round: Pittsburgh OT TJ Clemmings [Grade: A+]

5th Round: Southern Illinois TE MyCole Pruitt [Grade: B]

5th Round: Maryland WR Stefon Diggs [Grade: A-]

6th Round:  Oklahoma OT Tyrus Thompson [Grade: B+]

6th Round: Louisville DE BJ Dubose [Grade: A-]

7th Round: Alabama OT Austin Shepherd [Grade: B+]

7th Round: Newberry OLB Edmond Robinson [Grade: B]

Overall Grade: A

It's not very often that you pick three straight defenders and each one of them is the best option available on the board at that time. The Vikings did just that, securing CB Trae Waynes, UCLA middle lineabacker Eric Kendricks, and LSU pass rusher Danielle Hunter in rounds 1 through 3 — all three of which could be major impact players before long. Add one of the best offensive line value picks in Pittsburgh’s TJ Clemmings (4th round), and this is a draft Vikes fans can easily get behind.
