But I'm going to dig deeper before saying it's a totally flawed argument and Tanishka is Rick's love child.
Rick Spielman's Day 2 and 3 Gems Make Up For His First-Round Misses
His first-round picks since 2016 are:
2016 – Laquon Treadwell
2017 – N/A
2018 – Mike Hughes
2019 – Garrett Bradbury
2020 – Justin Jefferson and Jeff Gladney
2021 – Christian Darrisaw
Spielman is known to make his living on the second and third days of the draft. The second round has been a strength for him: Mackensie Alexander, Eric Kendricks, Dalvin Cook, Brian O’Neill, and Irv Smith Jr. have developed into the core of the team.
Sprinkle in some other late-round hits like Danielle Hunter, Stefon Diggs, and Cameron Dantzler, and you got yourself a pretty damn good general manager. Spielman’s critics tend to focus solely on his first-round misses, but it is important to note that his hit-to-miss rate is better than most general managers.

My initial response was that I didn't buy it, but would do some digging before saying Tanishka is drinking too much purple koolaid.
Let's make some comparisons using what I consider to be better drafting teams than the Vikings :
| XXXXX | ROUND 1 | ROUND 2-7 |
| COLTS | Ryan Kelly (C) | Rd4 Marlon Mack (RB) |
| Malik Hooker (S) | Rd2 Braden Smith (RT) | |
| Quenton Nelson (G) | Rd4 Nyheim Hines (RB) | |
| Rd2 Darius Leonard (LB) | ||
| Rd4 Khari Willis (S) | ||
| XXXXX | ||
| BILLS | Shaq Lawson (DE) | Rd2 Dion Dawkins (G) |
| Tre'Davious White (CB) | Rd3 Zack Moss (RB) | |
| Josh Allen (QB) | Rd5 Matt Milano (LB) | |
| Tremaine Edmunds (LB) | Rd5 Wyatt Teller (G) | |
| Ed Oliver (DT) | ||
| XXXXX | ||
| SAINTS | Sheldon Rankins (DT) | Rd2 Michael Thomas (WR) |
| Marshon Lattimore (CB) | Rd4 David Onyemata (DT) | |
| Ryan Ramczyk (RT) | Rd2 Marcus Williams (S) | |
| Marcus Davenport (DE) | Rd3 Alvin Kamara (RB) | |
| Cesar Ruiz (C) | Rd2 Erik McCoy (C) | |
| Rd3 Adam Trautman (TE) |
So after doing this little exercise I am going to say the artcle by Tanishka is a load of
and should be 
while Tanishka is Rick Spielmans' love child and should only go out in public if wearing one of these 
... and neither is this Chris guy.
