History of the Vikings' pick: No. 110 overall

April 26, 2015 at 11:32PM

Heading into the draft, we will give the recent history at each of the Vikings' seven draft slots.

We continue this series by taking a look at the Vikings' 110^th overall selection in this year's draft. There's one name that stands out among the rest, but he's a running back that's no longer in the league. Outside of that, there hasn't been too much talent produced from this pick

Here's the list of the last 10 players to go 110th overall:

2014: Maurice Alexander, DB, Rams

2013: Ryan Nassib, QB, Giants

2012: Ladarius Green, TE, Chargers

2011: David Arkin, OG, Cowboys

2010: Darrell Stuckey, DB, Chargers

2009: Victor Butler, LB, Cowboys

2008: Shawn Murphy, OT, Dolphins

2007: John Bowie, DB, Raiders

2006: Leon Williams, LB, Browns

2005: Brandon Jacobs, RB, Giants

The good… Jacobs retired last year, but he had a solid career with the Giants. He rushed for 5,094 yards and scored 64 total touchdowns in nine seasons. The Southern Illinois product was also a two-time Super Bowl champion with the Giants in 2007 and 2011.

The bad… Arkin made just one appearance in three seasons with the Cowboys. He's currently on the Colts.

The ugly… There are a lot of whiffs listed, but Dolphins cut Murphy a year after he was drafted. He only appeared in one game in his short-lived career. The Dolphins traded up to get Murphy, who is the son of seven-time MLB All-Star Dale Murphy.

Having the Vikings ever picked 110th? The Vikings have only made one selection with the 110^th pick. They drafted linebacker Kivuusama Mays out of North Carolina in 1998. Mays played just seasons in the NFL. He made 27 appearances with the Vikings and finished the 1999 season with the Packers.

Best 110th pick in NFL history? The Raiders selected defensive end Greg Townsend in 1983, and he went on to have a successful 13-year career. He tallied 109.5 career sacks, which is the 22^nd most in NFL history.
