Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman just met with the media to put a wrap on the 2015 NFL draft, which saw the Vikings select 10 players, five on each side of the ball.

"I know we're going to add to and improve our football team coming out of this weekend," Spielman said.

Here are some of the highlights:

On fourth-round pick T.J. Clemmings and how the team found out about the foot stress fracture that caused the Pitt offensive tackle to slide to the fourth round:

"Everybody is questioning the injury part. We found out about it at the combine. We did a lot of calling on him and double checking and triple checking on him today. We feel that it was an old injury that was there. It was discovered at the combine. He did not miss any practices during the year at Pitt. He did not miss any practices at the Senior Bowl. He worked out at the combine. We had our offensive line coaches at Pitt and he worked out there as well."

On how they'll use Clemmings, who does not project to play guard:

"He has the athletic skill set to play either side [at tackle]."

On Southern Illinois tight end MyCole Pruitt, the first of two fifth-round picks:

"From my alma mater, Southern Illinois, even though he didn't know I was from there. He's a very athletic H-back type fullback. They put him out in the slot. He played some on the line of scrimmage as a tight end. He ran very fast at the combine. He showed up at the all-star game. He has a lot of the unique traits we're looking for, especially in Norv Turner's offense, being able to do multiple things. He has very good hands and is aggressive as a blocker."

On Maryland receiver Stefon Diggs, the second fifth-round pick:

"Another extremely talented athlete. I was at a game his freshman year when he played Virginia. He's a kickoff returner. He has done some punt returns in the past. Very gifted athlete with the ball in his hands. He can do so many things. He's played outside, he's played in the slot, he's done some return stuff."

On Oklahoma offensive tackle Tyrus Thomson, the first of two sixth round picks:

"[Offensive line assistant coach] Hank Fraley went down and worked out all the Oklahoma kids. He was a left tackle at Oklahoma. We're projecting him to be a swing tackle or also move inside to guard. Another guys who has great length, great size. Very mature. He's married with two children."

On Louisville defensive end B.J. Dubose, the second sixth round pick:

"He's another guy who is a multi-position player. He can play end. He can rush the passer inside. We had him here on our top-30 visit. He pulled [a hamstring] at the combine and was unable to work out the rest of that time so that's why we brought him in to sit down and get to know him a little bit. He has good tape all around."

On Alabama offensive tackle Austin Shepherd, the first of two seventh round picks:

"Another multi-position guy. Played right tackle at Alabama. Can slide inside. We'll probably start him out at guard. Played some guard at the Senior Bowl as well. Very tough, physical, aggressive kid."

On Division II Newberry outside linebacker Edmond Robinson, the second of two seventh round picks:

"Another very talented athlete that's a little raw. [Linebackers coach] Adam Zimmer worked him out after the South Carolina pro day. He went over to Newberry to work this kid out. He's played outside. You don't see him a lot in the film in the stacked position, but he has great length, speed and range. He's going to be another guy who is going to have a lot of athletic tools to work with but is going to be a little bit of a learning curve. But you can't teach his length, you can't teach his speed and you can't teach his athletic ability."

On whether spending two draft picks on players who can play guard means the Vikings have changed their feelings on left guard David Yankey, last year's fifth-round draft pick:

"Not at all. We're very excited about how David came back [this year]. I think we're going to have great competition up front on that offensive line."

On whether he feels comfortable at strong safety after passing over safeties in the draft:

"The one thing I could tell you is definitely [Antone] Exum [a rookie last year] made the conversion from corner to safety and we're excited about the progress he has made. Along with [Robert] Blanton and [Andrew] Sendejo, I think we know what those guys are. But Exum is definitely a guy we're going to be keeping a close eye on. A very talented athlete."

On veteran offensive lineman Joe Berger, who projects as the starting left guard at this point:

"Since he's been here, Joe has been very valuable for us because he can play center, he can play guard. He stepped in and played extremely well for us last year. He was one of the priorities that we definitely wanted to sign back because of his versatility, because of his experience. We're going to have a very young group of guys coming up behind him. But the one guy that we really wanted to target to keep on our roster from our own UFAs was Joe Berger."
