EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- A few thoughts on the second of the Minnesota Vikings' two fifth-round picks.

The pick: Stefon Diggs, wide receiver, Maryland

My take: Wide receiver seemed like a position the Vikings would address at some point in the draft, and in Diggs, they get a wideout who might wind up contributing more from the slot than he does on the outside. He stood out as a kick returner in college, as well, and would give the Vikings another option at the spot in addition to Cordarrelle Patterson.

Injury-riddled career: Diggs missed three games in 2014 with a lacerated kidney, after initially playing through the injury, and lost six games to a broken right fibula in 2013. He also was suspended for the first of the three games he missed after he made contact with an official during a pregame incident with Penn State.

Freshman sensation: Diggs put up 1,896 all-purpose yards as a freshman at Maryland, tallying the second-most all-purpose yards in school history in 2012. He caught 62 passes for 792 yards as a junior in 2014, but his best work as a return man came as a freshman, when Diggs brought two kicks back for touchdowns.
