Minnesota Vikings: 5 worst draft picks of all-time

Out of all the bad Minnesota Vikings NFL Draft picks, who tops the list as the worst of all time?

The Minnesota Vikings have a storied history, but unfortunately for fans and players, it doesn’t include a Super Bowl victory. Minnesota has been to four Super Bowls, three under legendary quarterback Fran Tarkenton, and have come out on the losing end each time.

Just last year, the Vikings faced off against the Seattle Seahawks in the Wild Card round of the playoffs and had a chance to win with a short field goal by the usually-reliable Blair Walsh, but he missed the chip shot. Minnesota had a chance to face off against Arizona in the NFC Divisional round.

Walsh is still trying to earn the respect back from Vikings fans, but he still doesn’t have as far to go as some of the worst NFL Draft picks in franchise history.

In honor of the upcoming NFL Draft, it’s time to take a look at the five worst Vikings picks of all time. There have been plenty of questionable picks in recent years and that’s a big reason as to why they’ve have just two playoff appearances since 2009.

Mike Zimmer has taken over this team and he has already brought the Vikings to the playoffs in his second season, looking to improve in year three. He might have a serious say in who the team drafts this coming season and his smart football mind will help Minnesota avoid adding another player to a list like this.

Do you agree or disagree with anyone on this list or did I leave anyone off? Let me know in the comment section below.
