The Vikings will have the 23rd overall pick in Round 1. It's the last pick among the teams that finished 10-6, with both the Redskins and Bengals winning a tiebreaker among the playoff teams and picking ahead of Minnesota. It's a portion of the draft where many teams start to weigh more heavily the strategy of picking the best available player over a specific team need. GM Rick Spielman and the Vikings front office are already well into the scouting process, but now nearly the entire first round has been firmed up. Here's your complete draft order for April's first round.
