The Minnesota Vikings have found some great talent in the second round of the NFL Draft, but who are the best of the best to ever be selected in Round 2?

Heading into the 2019 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings have made 59 selections in the second round in franchise history. Among them are some of the greatest players to ever suit up for the team since its inaugural season in 1961.

While the first round gets the most attention on draft day, that doesn’t mean that quality players can’t be found afterward. In fact, the impact some of these players had on their team helped lead them to great seasons.

Let’s take a look at the ten greatest Minnesota Vikings players to hear their name called on what is now the second day of the NFL and count the list down to the best player ever from this group of picks.

Please note: This list includes picks going all the way back to the team’s inception. That means picks before the AFL/NFL merger will be included.
