It's not a bad move, but I think DB may be more of a need.  But if Parker is their highest rated guy on their board, that probably works.  They are about "average" on every position across the board so they can go a few different ways.

 

  If I was putting together a Mock Draft on what I would if in the various teams positions,  Trae Waynes would be my pick.   But I don't think the Vikings feel they have a # 1 WR type on their roster and want to put Teddy Bridgewater in a much better position than was the case in his rookie season.   Hence, my gut feeling is they would take DeVante Parker over Waynes if the choice comes down to the two of them.

 

 The needs that come to mind for the Vikings are a # 1 WR,  LG,  long term upgrade at LDE/  DE depth,  LB,  CB, and SS.   Based on the first 10 picks of my mock draft,  other options I think the Vikings will consider with pick # 11 if they keep the pick are La' el Collins,  Bud Dupree,  and Landon Collins.    With RB becoming the # 1 need if they decide to trade Adrian Peterson.    Todd Gurley probably will be in play for them with pick # 11,  if available,  and if Peterson is traded before the pick is made.
