Since Rick Spielman was promoted to be the team’s general manager in 2012, the Minnesota Vikings have spent a total of 12 draft selections on offensive lineman. Of the 10 that were drafted before 2018, only two are still on the Vikings’ current roster (Pat Elflein and Danny Isidora)
That’s not a very good success rate.
Now, the fact that eight of these 10 lineman were drafted in the fourth round or later may have something to with this lack of success. It probably isn’t a coincidence that the best offensive lineman Spielman has drafted during his tenure as general manager was selected in the third round (Elflein).
