It’s no secret for Minnesota Vikings’ fans that the 2015 draft turned out pretty well for the Purple. It was easily Rick Spielman’s best draft and one of the best drafts in franchise history.
The Picks
The Vikings didn’t hit on every pick, but where they hit, they hit it big. The Vikings’ 2015 draft class:
- CB Trae Waynes (#11)
- LB Eric Kendricks (#45)
- DE Danielle Hunter (#88)
- WR Stefon Diggs (#146)
- OT Tyrus Thompson (#185)
- DE B.J. DuBose (#193)
- OT Austin Shepard (#228)
Trae Waynes proved to be a serviceable starting cornerback but never lived up to his draft status.
