Explanation I don't believe in grading a draft until the players have been in the league atleast two years; thats why I didn't color code any of the 2000 picks. I am harsh on picks in the first four rounds. Wasted picks late in the draft are common, so I don't hold the team accountable. Anything late is a bonus, so I give credit for those diamonds in the rough. Players in blue are or were good players that developed elsewhere, but were picked by the Vikes. Players in the first four rounds that remain in black are players who were mediocre picks.
