With the 11th pick in the NFL draft, the Vikings selected Michigan State cornerback Trae Waynes.
Of course.
The majority of mock drafts in recent weeks had the Vikings selecting Waynes, who played in 36 games over three years with the Spartans. In 2014, his junior year, he picked off three passes and broke up eight passes. He finished his Michigan State career with six interceptions.
Waynes is listed at 6-foot and 186 pounds and he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.31 seconds at the combine, solidifying him as the top cornerback in the draft in the eyes of most analysts. He is a feisty cover man who likes to press at the line, which surely appealed to Vikings coach Mike Zimmer.
The Vikings have one promising young corner in Xavier Rhodes. Now they have added Waynes to a mix that includes Captain Munnerlyn, Josh Robinson and free-agent addition Terence Newman.
Before the Vikings were on the clock, wide receivers Amari Cooper and Kevin White were selected by the Raiders and Bears, respectively. Offensive lineman Brandon Scherff went to the Redskins.
The Vikings aren't scheduled to be on the clock until the 45th overall pick in the second round. But with General Manager Rick Spielman manning the draft room, don't go to bed just quite yet.
