nfl draft

With the 11th overall pick in tonight's NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings select cornerback from Michigan State Trae Waynes.

The Minnesota Vikings hold the 11th overall pick in tonight's NFL Draft. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the first pick, and the Tennessee Titans hold the second spot. I'm glad we scored Teddy Bridgewater last year, taking the Vikes out of the desperate situation of needing to land a quarterback. So let's get down to business.

The Minnesota Vikings selected ten players in the 2014 NFL Draft, including two players in the first round.

After trading the number-eight pick to the Cleveland Browns in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings used the ninth overall pick to select Anthony Barr, linebacker from UCLA.

The Minnesota Vikings have the 8th overall pick in tonight's NFL Draft. I love this day. It's about hope, the future, and the team I love. While many suggest taking a quarterback like Johnny Manziel, Blake Bortels, or Teddy Bridgewater would be a first-round mistake, but I'd like the excitement it would generate (and God knows we need one).

While most will be thinking it's way to early to start thinking about the 2014 NFL Draft (and they're right), we Vikings fans might be more inclined to take a peek (along with Jaguars, Steelers, and Raiders fans). Two guys at CBS Sports.com have taken an early look at how they think it would play out. Surprise; they both have the Vikes taking a QB in the 1st round.
