Draft King Analysis
Minnesota made some smart moves in this draft, landing players that fell surprisingly far (Dorsey at #115 and Davis at #155 in particular). They took a chance with Udeze at #20, who has a shoulder injury, but I think he will prove to be well worth the risk for the Vikings. They hedged their bets on Udeze by snagging Scott at #88, who at worst will provide depth at DE. Not to be overlooked was the selection of Thomas at #48. Auburn's Karlos Dansby stole the headlines at LB at Auburn, but don't be fooled, Thomas is the real deal as well. Overall the Minnesota defense should be tougher for this upcoming season, which is the proper goal that the Vikings should've had going into the draft. Good job.
