    Rick Spielman, the Vikings vice president of personnel, detailed the way the franchise worked this year's NFL draft, saying the team started off by looking at taking the best player available while at the same time looking to fill whatever needs it had.

    "We followed our draft board like we normally have, and as best players came down, we tried to fill needs as well," Spielman said. "I know the first part, to get the corner [Virginia's Chris Cook] by moving back in the second round, and then having enough ammunition to come up and get [Stanford's] Toby Gerhart, who we thought is a very good running back and is going to be a great running back for us teamed up with Adrian Peterson.
