4. Trae Waynes
In case the other three aren’t available when the Vikings are on the clock at pick 11, speedy 6′ 1″ cornerback Trae Waynes would be an excellent addition to the defensive backfield.
This position is a very interesting one for Minnesota moving forward. After watching Xavier Rhodes emerge in 2014, adding a talented cornerback opposite him would do wonders for the Vikings defense.
According to CBSsports.com:
“One of the best defensive backs and cover corners in the country, Waynes cut his teeth under the tutelage of 2014 first-round cornerback Darqueze Dennard the past few years and has developed into a first-round prospect himself. He finished the 2014 season with 46 tackles, a sack, three interceptions and eight passes broken up and is considered by many to be the clear No. 1 cornerback in this class.”
