Minnesota Vikings full 2016 NFL Draft class
By Adam Carlson
Although the Minnesota Vikings used only 8 picks of their picks in the 2016 NFL Draft, Rick Spielman still found value by trading the team’s third round selection to the Miami Dolphins for a sixth round pick this year and 2017 draft picks in the third and fourth rounds. This is the kind of dealing that has made Spielman look like a genius in the past.
However, there are still 8 great players who the Minnesota Vikings took a chance on in the draft who will be a part of the team. With all seven rounds in the book, the 2016 NFL Draft class of the Minnesota Vikings has been finalized.
