The Minnesota Vikings surprised fans by taking Florida defensive tackle Caleb Banks 18th overall on Thursday night. Some fans believed the team had other needs to address, while others argued that Banks was a reach at 18.
Fortunately, the draft is far from over, even if the first round garners the most attention. The Vikings have three picks during the second and third rounds on Friday night, providing multiple opportunities to add to instant contributors to a roster in need of young talent.
Minnesota owns the 49th overall pick in the second round, and then picks 82 and 97 in the third round. This range could potentially have the most value in the draft, some experts believe, giving the Vikings several opportunities to fill needs that many believe they missed out on when they took Banks in the first round.
Because of the perceived value of this year's class in rounds 2 and 3, Minnesota could potentially look to trade down and accumulate additional picks in either rounds 3 or 4. However, an unpredictable first night left several intriguing players on the board heading into Friday night, providing the Vikings a chance to snatch a potential first-round talent at 49.
