2015 NFL Draft: Minnesota Vikings Will Pick #11

Bruce Kluckhohn-USA TODAY Sports

With pretty much all of the relevant results having been tallied, the Minnesota Vikings have secured the 11th overall selection in the 2015 NFL Draft.

Here is the selection order for the first 20 teams, which is set because these teams did not make the post-season.

Pick Team Record Strength of Schedule
1 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2-14 .4862
2 Tennessee Titans 2-14 .5059
3 Jacksonville Jaguars 3-13 .5138
4 Oakland Raiders 3-13 .5703
5 Washington Redskins 4-12 .4961
6 New York Jets 4-12 .5412
7 Chicago Bears 5-11 .5293
8 Atlanta Falcons 6-10 .4823
9 New York Giants 6-10 .5117
10 St. Louis Rams 6-10 .5312
11 Minnesota Vikings 7-9 .4746
12 Cleveland Browns 7-9 .4782
13 New Orleans Bounty Hunters 7-9 .4862
14 Miami Dolphins 8-8 .5117
15 San Francisco 49ers 8-8 .5273
16 Houston Texans 9-7 .4469
17 Kansas City Chiefs 9-7 .5098
18 San Diego Chargers 9-7 .5117
19 Cleveland Browns (via Buffalo Bills) 9-7 .5156
20 Philadelphia Eagles 10-6 .4902

And now the order, as it stands right now, for the teams that have made the playoffs. Remember, the teams that lose on Wild Card Weekend will pick 21-24, the teams that lose in the Divisional Round pick from 25-28, the teams that lose the Conference Championships pick 29th and 30th, the Super Bowl loser selects at #31, and the Super Bowl Champions select at #32.

Pick Team Record Strength of Schedule
21 Carolina Panthers 6-9-1 .4902
22 Baltimore Ravens 10-6 .4742
23 Detroit Lions 11-5 .4707
24 Pittsburgh Steelers 10-5* .4547
25 Arizona Cardinals 11-5 .5234
26 Indianapolis Colts 11-5 .4783
27 Cincinnati Bengals 10-4-1* .4941
28 Dallas Cowboys 12-4 .4453
29 Green Bay Packers 12-4 .4824
30 New England Patriots 12-4 .5157
31 Denver Broncos 12-4 .5235
32 Seattle Seahawks 12-4 .5254

* - The Bengals and Steelers meet tonight in Sunday Night Football in the final game of the 2014 regular season.

If you're scoring at home, the Minnesota Vikings have had the #11 pick in the first round twice in their history, with remarkably different results. The first time came in 1995, when they selected Florida State defensive end Derrick Alexander (notably passing on Warren Sapp, who went to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the next pick). The other time was in 1999, when they drafted University of Central Florida quarterback Daunte Culpepper.

So, that's where things stand for the 2015 NFL Draft as it stands right now, ladies and gentlemen. It's going to be the biggest topic of conversation around here for a while, so we could just as well get it started.
