The Vikings made 11 picks in the 2021 NFL Draft, tied for the most in the league this year. Here's how they spent them.
FIRST ROUND
23rd pick: Christian Darrisaw, OT, Virginia Tech
Darrisaw received only one FBS offer as a two-star recruitout of Riverdale Baptist High in Upper Marlboro, Md., and that was to Virginia Tech. He would go on to becomeone of the only true freshmen to start Week 1 in the FBS in 2018, and finished his Hokies career as a three-year starter. The Vikings view him as a "pure left tackle," according to general manager Rick Spielman, and his 6-5, 322-pound frame was a primary draw to drafting him, according to coach Mike Zimmer.
