EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — After taking USC wide receiver Jordan Addison in the first round, the Minnesota Vikings picked Trojans teammate and cornerback Mekhi Blackmon with the final pick of the third round of the NFL draft. Minnesota began the second day of the draft without a second-round pick from the trade they made last November with Detroit to acquire tight end T.J. Hockenson. The Vikings entered Friday with the 87th overall selection, in the third round, before moving back in a trade with the San Francisco 49ers. In return, they got three later picks.
