The 2017 NFL Draft has concluded with the Minnesota Vikings making 11 picks. Who did they select and how did they fare?

After a disappointing 8-8 finish to the season, the Minnesota Vikings took a massive step back in their development. There was a storm of injuries and other variables that derailed the 2016 season.

On the bright side, 2017 started a new year and served as somewhat of a breath of fresh air from the gloomy season a year ago. General manager Rick Spielman has developed a reputation as an excellent drafter.

With that being said, the 2016 draft class left a lot to be desired as the teams rookie class as a whole was among the league low in total snap count percentage throughout the league.

Spielman once again wheeled and dealed his way throughout the 2017 NFL Draft before ultimately finishing with 11 selections.

Lets take a look at who he selected, an overview of each prospect and a preliminary grade.
