Trae Waynes, Landon Collins, or DeVante Parker.
I'd be really happy with any of those guys.
Waynes, because opposite Rhodes, he'd give them a nice, young, talented, cb tandem.
Collins for the same reason as Waynes, only pair him with Harrison Smith.
Parker because even with the addition of Wallace, they still need WR help. Plus, he has history with Teddy.

Yeah I think as long as they evaluate him as the best CB in the draft, whoever they take there would be a good choice.
I think if they could get White or Cooper WR is a good idea, but Parker is slightly below them on my wishlist.
I'd be cool with Scherff too with the whole Kalil situation being a make or break year for him.
LB would be cool too if they find someone they think is worthy.
I'll be ****** if they spend a high pick on a RB this year honestly.
As much as I hate the Hawks, I'd be fine with Scherff to bolster that line. I doubt they'll reach for a RB....take best available in 2nd round maybe but not the first. Depends on how AP shakes out.
I'd honestly like to see them bolster the O or D line.

Agreed. I just assumed by pick 11, both of those guys would be gone.
Another guy I think might be good is Shaq Thompson from Washington. He's kind of a tweener, position-wise, but if someone figures out how to use him, I think he could be an absolute stud in the NFL.
IMO the Vikes need to look at a CB at #11. CB's are extremely important in today's game and magnified even more in the North going against Rodgers and Stafford (not throwing Bears fans a bone here...).
Wouldn't mind a WR at #11 but I keep hearing this is a deep draft in terms of WR so I like a CB with their first pick.

I hope they trade back and draft a guard or Collins from Alabama. Trade back to 16-22 or so and get a third rounder as well. The draft is deeeeep at wide receiver!
The official team website and twitter seem to be talking up Parker and Waynes. This makes me think they are trying to create demand and for a trade up.

Would LOVE a trade back. I forgot to add that to the poll. Unless someone like White drops to them, I think it's the best move since there isn't a big talent gap near 11. Even then, I think OL would be a good idea. Protect Teddy and see what he can do when he's not getting pounded.
I want T. Waynes
Go to First-Pick.com this is a pretty cool website where you can pick a team and do an entire draft. Just found out about it last Friday and I spent hours on it because it was pretty addicting.

Scherff would be the safe pick and decent value at #11, especially if he fills a need. He could step in as a starter from day one and play well. I like Landon Collins but taking him that high feels like a bit of a reach.
Shaq Thompson has been linked to the Colts at #29. Just rumors of course, but I think he'll be gone by the end of the first round. Indy is in bad need of help at safety, and the thought is that Thompson can become a pretty good strong safety in the right system.
Yeah I don't think the Vikings are in a great spot to take him without moving. 11 is way too early.

Most mocks have him anywhere between 10 and 20 with a few outliers in either direction, so grabbing him at 11 doesn't seem like too much of a reach, to me. He's pretty much the consensus top safety in the draft, though. So, depending on how important the Vikings view their needs at that position, I could see them taking him.
What would be awesome is if they grabbed Waynes at 11, and then traded back into the end of the first round (as Rick Spielman has been known to do) and grab Shaq Thompson. I'd be ecstatic if that happened.
Vikes have many needs, and CB, WR, G are very deep in the draft, so unless someone's there at 11 who they just can't pass up (for me, that would be Amari Cooper or maybe Bud Dupree (DE - KE)), I'd like to see them trade back and take the top CB then available, picking up a WR & G in the next couple rounds. Need to get a safety & LB in there somewhere but don't think that'll be in the early rounds.
The good thing about the Vikings needs are that they are almost all low scarcity positions.
They've got the tough ones down mostly. QB, #1 CB, DE, DT, edge rushing LB, are all locked down.
WR is a little bit of a by committee type thing IMO even if there's no true #1.
S, G, #2 CB, ILB are all very easy to find for little cost.
Ironically LT may or may not be their biggest weakness and that's a position they likely won't touch because they don't want to give up on Kalil, who was literally one of the worst lineman in the NFL the past two years after his rookie pro bowl season.
I am thinking the Vikings go with Waynes, but I hope they take a WR. I bet Parker is still available but also, if Cooper of White is still some how there, take either of those two.
