The Minnesota Vikings are picking at 23rd overall in the first round with that being their first of five picks. If last year’s draft tells us anything, the Vikings won’t be picking at any of those spots.

General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah made a number of trades and acquired all 10 picks he made on draft day. Even with that, it is worth looking at the history of the Vikings current picks to see what kind of success rate it’s had recently.

Over the last 22 years of the NFL draft, there have been some really successful picks at 23rd overall. Let’s take a look at those picks.
