And the media is in as well.

Harlon Barnett has told Rick Spielman that Trae Waynes is "an outstanding player on the field and an outstanding young man.''

For all the questions about Waynes, remember how many people questioned the Anthony Barr pick last year too.

Like the Trae Waynes #Vikings pick. Like it even more after the Bears took Kevin White at No. 7.
