Due to Vikings general manager Rick Spielman always attempting to get nine or ten selections during each NFL Draft, Minnesota normally has a few of their picks not turn out as well as they had hoped.

In 2016, those players were offensive lineman Willie Beavers, wide receiver Moritz Böhringer, and defensive end Stephen Weatherly. Beavers and Weatherly were the only ones that saw any actual game-action on the field last season while Böhringer spent the entire year on the Vikings’ practice squad.

Next: Cordarrelle Patterson felt wanted in 2016

Out of the three, Weatherly likely has the best chance of staying on the team’s roster in 2017. Sorry MoBö fans.
