Minnesota Vikings 7-Round Mock Draft

I’m not sure if the evolution of these Mock Draft Simulators are such a good thing. They are too damn easy. Too addictive. This Minnesota Vikings 7-Round Mock Draft is courtesy of the Draft Network simulator. 

1(12).   Derek Stingley Jr., CB, LSU

2(46).   David Ojabo, Edge, Michigan

3(77).   John Metchie III, WR, Alabama

5(156). Cam Jurgens, IOL, Nebraska

6(184). Thomas Booker, IDL, Stanford

6(191). Isaac Taylor-Stuart, CB, USC

6(192). Juanyeh Thomas, S, Georgia Tech

7(250). Smoke Monday, S, Auburn

This mock draft is topped by three players that I believe are unlikely to be available to the Vikings in the real draft at the spots I grabbed them in this fake draft. Cincinnati corner Ahmad Gardner and Derek Stingley Jr. are my dream picks for the Vikings at #12. In order for one, most likely Stingley, to be available the first 11 picks need to be well-peppered with quarterbacks. Before he suffered a torn Achilles at his Pro Day, David Ojabo was a borderline Top-10 pick. Due to his talent and potential, a patient team might still grab him in the first round. More likely, he’s selected early in the second round. Maybe he falls to the 46th pick. He’d be a great investment in the Vikings pass rushing future. I was surprised to see John Metchie III still on the board in the third round. He feels like a second-round pick. 

I’m one of the few Vikings fans that still has some hope for Garrett Bradbury. Cam Jurgens would provide the Vikings some options at center if Bradbury continues to struggle with aspects of his game. 

Despite playing for Stanford, I like Thomas Booker. He seems to be one of the sixth-round picks in many of my Vikings mocks. 

Isaac Taylor-Stuart and Juanyeh Thomas have intriguing athletic traits. They might be available in the sixth round because those traits haven’t always translated into their play on the field. If the Vikings coaches can bring the best out of them, they could be steals. 

I grabbed Smoke Monday mostly for his fantastic name.
