After the season ended, Mike Zimmer said "a priority for me is that we continue to get more pass rushers". Danielle Hunter is returning from surgery and Ifeadi Odenigbo, a restricted free agent, is probably better as a rotational end.
Kwity Paye is 6'4" 277 and ran a 4.57 forty and did a ridiculous 6.37 on the 3-cone drill last year. While the skills that make Paye a high-level pass rusher are highly touted, he may be even more impressive as a run defender which is the first priority for Mike Zimmer's ends.

VIKINGS HISTORICAL DRAFT PICKS
Reach/Value (R/V) Explained
The difference between where a player is selected in the NFL draft versus where the player was listed on the final Drafttek Big Board for the season in question.Example: A player who was listed at #50 on the Big Board and was selected at #35 will be a "Reach" of -15. Alternately, a player listed at #35 on the Big Board who was selected at #50 is a +15 "Value".
Simply put: a positive number is a Value pick, a negative number is a Reach.
