With draft day upon us, it is time to look at the top-50 players in this class and a final mock draft for the Minnesota Vikings. Who are some prospects that they could have their eyes on?

It is the three day stretch that all NFL fans anticipate at the conclusion of the season, and here we are. The 2017 NFL Draft is finally here. The stretch of days that unites NFL fans to enjoy a single moment. It is the event that makes or breaks general managers and scouting departments statuses or it can create longterm legacies as they set the foundation of their teams.

The Minnesota Vikings enter draft day with eight picks. Currently projected to sit out of the first night of the draft due to trading a first-round pick for quarterback Sam Bradford, but the franchise has plenty to look forward as they have four picks within the mid-rounds.

The team’s 2016 draft class is off to a rough start, but there is still time for them to recover and develop into good players, but we all have moved on and turned the page to the 2017 draft class. Let’s take a dive into who I consider the top-50 players of this draft class, as well as a full Vikings mock draft.
