Holy crap that's a lot of new Vikings!
It is hard to remember who all we drafted. I know we got a lot of late rounders but it is a lot to go look through all of them.
Is this thing STILL on? | Skol Vikes! |
I believe 15 out of a single draft set an all time record. Not a record he was chasing, but he said there were some that they figured they could nab in the 7th, that might be otherwise hard to sign as UDFAs. Plus Rick said he already figures he has 12 lined up for next year.
Yes 15 is the record for the 7-round format. The list:
22 Justin Jefferson WR LSU
31 Gladney CB TCU
58 Cleveland OT Boise
89 Dantzler CB Mississippi St
117 Wonnum DE S Carolina
130 Lynch DT Baylor
132 Dye LB Oregon
169 Hand CB Temple
176 Osborne WR Miami
203 Brandel OT Oregon St
205 Metellus S Michigan
225 Willekes DE Michigan St
244 Stanley QB Iowa
249 Cole S Mississippi St
253 Hinton G Washburn
Whew!

We have our original 1-7 +4th from Bills (Diggs)4th from Bears (for #155 this year)5th from Ravens (for #201)
Plus we'll likely get a couple comps so Vikings might have 12 picks at the start of 2021.
That is a hell of a lot of picks. Rick is never boring on draft weekend.
With a possible 12 to begin the draft next year expect him to break this years record.
