Vikings Rook's Custom Chain š¦
No. 1 - Ndamukong Suh, DL, Nebraska
Great quickness and strength with a motor that does not stop.
No. 2 ā Gerald McCoy, DL, Oklahoma
Solid technique player.
No. 3 ā Eric Berry, S, Tennessee
Complete package to dominate the defensive backfield.
No. 4 ā Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
Great leader with accuracy and athletic ability.
No. 5 ā Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State
Very long arms and a four-year starter who consistently shut down top pass rushers.
No. 6 ā Earl Thomas, S, Texas
Great Playmaking potential even though he is said to be too small at 5'10ā (Troy Polamalu is 5'10ā too).
No. 7 ā Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
Plays aggressively and with a mean streak, but is also very well coached.
No. 8 ā Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
Well coached and great fundamentals to play on both the right or left sides.
No. 9 ā C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson
Fast and explosive, along with being tough in between the tackles and great durability.
No. 10 ā Derrick Morgan, DE, Georiga
A 4-3 defensive end with both speed and power who also was the ACC Defensive Player of the Year
No. 11 ā Rolando McClain, ILB, Alabama
Very smart player who can play all three downs and can blitz.
No. 12 ā Joe Haden, CB, Florida
True freshman starter with good coverage ability.
No. 13 ā Mike Iupati, OG, Idaho
Very mean blocker who might be able to play tackle as well.
No. 14 ā Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State
Has the skills to be a very good lockdown corner in the NFL who can also return kicks.
No. 15 ā Dan Williams, DL, Tennessee
Can play in either a 3-4 or 4-3 system, but needs to watch his weight.
No. 16 ā Brandon Graham, DE/LB, Michigan
Best suited as an outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme, plays very strong and fast.
No. 17 ā Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State
Despite character concerns, Bryant's ability still ranks him in the top 20.
No. 18 ā Jason Pierre-Paul, DE/LB, South Florida
Minimal football experience, but a high potential if he can pick up the pro game quickly.
No. 19 ā Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma
As long as he is fully recovered from his knee issues, Gresham could be the next Kellen Winslow-type at tight end causing matchup problems for defenses.
No. 20 ā Maurkice Pouncey, C, Florida
Very smart and determined to succeed. Played in the Sugar Bowl just hours after a kidney stones treatment.
No. 21 ā Jared Odrick, DL, Penn State
A great Pro Day combines with the versatility to play any spot on the line has moved him up the board.
No. 22 ā Demaryius Thomas, WR, Georiga Tech
Ridiculous potential who averaged 25 yards per catch. Broken foot may keep him out of the first round though.
No. 23 ā Sergio Kindle, DE/LB, Texas
Amazingly gifted athlete who won player of the year honors in high school on both offense and defense.
No. 24 ā Kareem Jackson, CB, Alabama
Moving up the charts due to his ability to play either on top of a receiver or off him too.
No. 25 ā Everson Griffen, DE, USC
Fast first step to get to quarterbacks, but needs to get better in run support.
No. 26 ā Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland
Campbell doesn't have a stereotypical offensive lineman body and looks more like a linebacker, but with the right coaching could become one of the best. Still a project though.
No. 27 ā Ryan Matthews, RB, Fresno State
Strong runner who can also block and catch passes well.
No. 28 ā Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri
Said to be a good fit at outside linebacker, but his size seems like a better fit as an inside linebacker instead. Made plays everywhere on the field in college.
No. 29 ā Golden Tate, WR, Notre Dame
Former running back excelled as a wide receiver, but has plenty to learn. Ridiculously fast in small spaces and in the open field who can be an asset in the return game as well.
No. 30 ā Jerry Hughes, DE/LB, TCU
Former running back who is compared to last year's Brian Orakpo. A pass rushing threat on day one.
No. 31 ā Brian Price, DL, UCLA
Very quick and explosive for being over 300 pounds. May be better suited as an end in a 3-4 defense.
No. 32 ā Charles Brown, OT, USC
Good ability who needs to add more strength, but has been well coached.
No. 33 ā Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame
His cocky attitude has been in question by many teams who think he may be too narcissistic and leading Notre Dame to only a best record of 7-6 says he may have trouble winning games when it counts.
No. 34 ā Jahvid Best, RB, California
Great speed and loves to run inside, but durability may be an issue too.
No. 35 ā Taylor Mays, S, USC
Still needs to work on his game, but potential talent and size will keep him in the first round.
No. 36 ā Colt McCoy, QB, Texas
Size may be in question, but McCoy is the winningest quarterback in college history and he is highly mobile with great throwing mechanics.
No. 37 ā Devin McCourty, CB, Rutgers
Always around the ball, but needs to work on his run support.
No. 38 ā Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers
Good movement for a 320-plus pounder, but his commitment and character have come into question.
No. 39 ā Linval Joseph, OT, East Carolina
Coming out of nowhere to land in the top 50, Joseph has all the tools to be very good in a year or two.
No. 40 ā Patrick Robinson, CB, Florida State
Has the size and abilities to cover either No. 1 or No. 2 wide receivers in the NFL.
No. 41 ā Navorro Bowman, LB, Penn State
Bowman's instincts will give a lucky team playmaking talent that cannot be taught.
No. 42 ā Tim Tebow, QB, Florida
Bad throwing mechanics or not, nobody can question Tebow's physical gifts and abilities.
No. 43 ā Terrence Cody, DT, Alabama
Cody has controlled his weight recently and if he can continue this then he will make it nearly impossible for opponents to run inside against him.
No. 44 ā Lamarr Houston, DL, Texas
Another former running back (wow!) who is very agile for a 300 pounder. Houston will be an asset in either the 3-4 or 4-3 system.
No. 45 ā Daryl Washington, LB, TCU
Very aggressive player who needs to add some bulk to his 230 pound frame.
No. 46 ā Arrelious Benn, WR, Illinois
Benn has been in a steady move up the boards since his Pro Day workout. He has the potential to be a No. 1 receiver in the league if he can stay focused on that goal.
No. 47 ā Tyson Alualu, DE, California
Strong and powerful with great instincts and a mean streak too. Alualu's motor does not stop.
No. 48 ā Rob Gronkowski, TE, Arizona
Can be very deadly in the NFL creating mismatches as long as he is 100 percent healthy.
No. 49 ā Vlad Ducasse, OT, Massachusetts
Very hard worker who needs to focus on his technique more.
No. 50 - Brandon Spikes, LB, Florida
Even though many have concerns about Spikes and his stock has dropped, he is still a very talented athlete.
