After addressing clear needs at wide receiver and cornerback in the first round, the Vikings took a tackle who slid down the board. 
Minnesota used its second-round pick on Boise State tackle Ezra Cleveland. The former Mountain West standout was viewed as a near-lock to go in the first round, so this may well represent good value for the Vikings.
The Vikings were a rumored Cleveland suitor, but given his rumored pre-draft rise, it was perceived that said interest would have required the team using one of its two first-round picks. The 6’6″ blocker rated as Scouts Inc.’s No. 22 overall prospect.
Riley Reiff‘s status has been a discussion point this offseason, and the Vikings may have drafted his replacement. Reiff has worked as the Vikings’ left tackle since 2017. The Vikings have now used second-round picks on tackles in two of the past three years, having drafted right tackle starter Brian O’Neill in 2018. Reiff is under contract through 2021 but would not be a particularly prohibitive cut at this stage of his deal.
Bye Reiff
I’m busting nuts just thinking about him getting cut
