My sleepers: (meaning, the kind of players coaches would like to have, more than what consensus big board gives credit to them. Some of them might need couple of years to attain their high potential, if drafted into suitable coaching environment, so a lot depends on that. Some of them have injury concerns too).
Most of them are high IQ players or high-effort, high-motor players - two traits I look for from the Drafted players, list is long but I like these guys.. gonna be interesting to see where they land and how it works out for them in long run.

As for Vikings, I don't wanna rush to draft QB if the team isn't confident in the guys they could move up in draft range, and I'd like to just draft impact players that build the roster at this point.
Build the team, draft a franchise QB at right time, don't rush and ruin years trying to make someone work out in the NFL.
If you are relying upon history, does accuracy matter? I think the reason Smith ended up at RT is because the coaches tried him there out of necessity and he played well, and stayed there due to the coaches wishes. I don't think that FO guys had much to say about it, because Smith was in fact drafted to be a G, not the RT. Ballard's own words after day 2 of that draft was that they drafted Smith a bit higher than they had him ranked, because he was the "last remaining starting caliber G on the board".
So it does fit that Smith was not drafted by Ballard or the FO to be a RT...in part because of the measurables and arm length.

Soundtrack #25....
Guess mine is not the first heart broken
My eyes are not the first to cry
I'm not the first to know
There's just no getting over you
I know I'm just a fool who's willing to
Sit around and wait for you
But baby can't you see there's nothing else for me to do?!
I'm _____________
Soundtrack #24...
To really love a woman
To understand her, you gotta know her deep inside
Hear every thought, see every dream
And give her wings when she wants to fly
Then when you find yourself lying helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman
Soundtrack #23....
If you don't like the world you're living in
Take a look at least you got friends
You see I called my old lady
For a friendly world
She picked up the phone
Dropped it on the floor
"Ah, Ah," is all I heard
Are we going let de-elevator bring us down
Oh no, ________

So I just did me some talking to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleeping on the job
These_______________, they keep falling
