Go Gophers!!
 


We really screwed up with Brent Burns. I really liked him when he was here.
 


Somebody picked Ricky Rubio before Adrian Petersen? OMG! One is a first ballet hall of famer and the other is Rickey Rubio who is best known for being stupidly selected before Steph Curry! SMH!
 


Carl Eller- My favorite Viking of all time. Loved watching him rush the passer on all of those great Viking defenses when I was a kid.
 

Including Kaprizov on this list is a bold choice. He could certainly turn out to be great, but the Wild have had his rights for the past 4 years and he’s yet to play a game in the NHL.
 

Sort of surprised that Chuck Foreman did not make the list somehow. He was as big a part of the Vikings final 3 Super Bowl appearances as anyone.
