The Minnesota Vikings reportedly signed their first-round pick Trae Waynes to a four-year contract, according to Matt Vensel of The Star Tribune.

Waynes, a cornerback out of Michigan State was selected 11th overall by the Vikings.

The 22-year-old will likely be paired with former first-round pick Xavier Rhodes in the secondary, and will almost certainly top Josh Robinson for the team's second starting cornerback spot.

Waynes entered the draft after a standout junior campaign and was considered by many to be the best cornerback available in the 2015 class.
