Trae Waynes. 1. player. 60. <p>The Minnesota Vikings’ defensive front-seven looks and so some help on the back end will make that defense even better. So they selected corner Trae Waynes in the first round to pair with 2013 first-round pick Xavier Rhodes. The Vikings have loaded up to deal with all the receivers in the NFC North to go with that front-seven.</p> <p>After improving their No. 7-ranked pass from 2014, they address their No. 25-ranked run defense. They selected middle linebacker Eric Kendricks, who some had going the first round, in the second. The run defense was far and away the greatest weakness of the unit in 2014 so the Vikings go into 2015 that much better.</p> <p>In the third and fourth rounds respectively, the Vikings got a couple of prospects that could surprise. Defensive end Danielle Hunter is a defensive end has tons of athleticism as does offensive tackle T.J. Clemmings. Put that together with the return of running back Adrian Peterson with quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and receiver Mike Wallace and this team is ready!</p>. CB. Michigan St.
