Vikings draft capsules

Trae Waynes, Michigan State

CB • 6-0, 186

Stats: He played 36 games over three seasons at Michigan State, starting 27. Waynes finished with 46 tackles last season and was a first-team All-Big Ten selection.

Skinny: Has good size, and he's aggressive. Appears to be a cornerback that fits head coach Mike Zimmer's scheme, but he'll need to clean up on his technique.

Eric Kendricks, UCLA

LB • 6-0, 232

Stats: He made 42 career starts, finishing as UCLA's all-time leader with 481 tackles. Kendricks ranked sixth in the nation last year with 11.5 tackles a game.

Danielle Hunter, Louisiana State

LB • 6-5, 252

Stats: He made 23 straight starts and finished his career with 142 tackles, 21 tackles for loss and 4½ sacks. Hunter ran the 40-yard dash in 4.57 seconds, leading all defensive linemen at the NFL scouting combine.

Skinny: A very raw prospect that could project at either defensive end or linebacker, but Hunter is very young and athletic. He will get the opportunity to develop on defense this season.

T.J. Clemmings, Pittsburgh

Stats: He started all 26 games at right tackle in his last two seasons. Clemmings was named first team All-ACC last year. He had the highest run blocking grade among offensive tackles in the draft, per Pro Football Focus.

Skinny: Day 1 or 2 talent that slid due to injury concerns (foot). He's still raw though after making the switch from defensive end to offensive tackle in college. Likely will start off as a backup tackle.

MyCole Pruitt, Southern Illinois

TE • 6-3, 255

Stats: He set a school record with 81 receptions last season, ranking 12th in FCS with 6.8 catches a game. Pruitt also has 13 touchdown receptions.

Stefon Diggs, Maryland (right) WR • 6-0, 190

Stats: The three-year starter had 150 receptions for 2,227 yards and 14 touchdowns. Diggs had seven 100-yad receiving games, the second most in school history.

Skinny: He's a fast and talented playmaker that has the ability to become a downfield threat. There are durability concerns with Diggs, but he's a good value pick.

Tyrus Thompson, Oklahoma

OL • 6-5, 324

Skinny: Another big offensive lineman selected in Day 3 that would serve as another option at tackle. Many questioned Thompson's toughness and motor though, which caused him to slide.

B.J. Dubose, Louisville

DL • 6-4, 284

Stats: Dubose recorded a career-high 41 tackles and 7½ tackles for loss last season starting in all 13 games.

Skinny: Former college and 7-on-7 teammate of quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, Dubose has the ability to play every position on the defensive line.

T • 6-5, 320

Stats: He allowed just one sack in 14 starts last season and had just seven missed assignments in 940 snaps, per the school site. He made 27 career starts at right tackle.

Skinny: Shepherd played offensive tackle in college but was used at guard during the Senior Bowl. He likely projects as a guard in the NFL.

Edmond Robinson, Newberry College

LB • 6-3, 245

Skinny: Robinson has room to fill out, but he's another late linebacker selection by the Vikings that can move in space. Last year the Vikings picked Brandon Watts in the seventh round.
