These mock draft simulators make it too damn easy to whip out mock drafts. The two Minnesota Vikings mock drafts that follow are crafted from PFF’s simulator. It’s too easy. And it’s addicting.
Mock Draft #1
Round 1 (#23)
Bryan Bresee, DL, Clemson
Round 3 (#87)
Nathaniel Dell, WR, Houston
Round 4 (#119)
Karl Brooks, DL, Bowling Green
Round 5 (#160)
Colby Wooden, Edge, Auburn
Round 5 (#177)
Dorian Williams, LB, Tulane
I don’t like coming out of the draft without a cornerback. I just liked the above players more than the corners available at those spots. Bryan Bresee, in particular, was a surprise at #23. I couldn’t pass on him. Unless the Vikings grab a starting cornerback in free agency, not picking one in the real draft would be a mistake.
I usually refuse to throw trades into mock drafts. There’s enough uncertainty in these things. Why add more? Again, these simulators make things so easy. Why not give the trade route a whirl?
Mock Draft #2
I traded the Vikings #23 pick to the Houston Texans for picks #33 and #65. PFF gave the trade a B. I give it an A.
Round 2 (#33)
Deonte Banks, CB, Maryland
Round 3 (#65)
Daiyan Henley, LB, Washington State
Round 3 (#87)
Nathaniel Dell, WR, Houston
Round 4 (#119)
Karl Brooks, DL, Bowling Green
Round 5 (#160)
Michael Wilson, WR, Stanford
Round 5 (#177)
Stetson Bennett, QB, Georgia
I’m starting to develop some draft crushes. Deonte Banks and Daiyan Henley are two of them. Nathaniel Dell is becoming another. The itty bitty receiver out of Houston would juice up the Vikings offense and special teams. I also seem to be drafting Karl Brooks in nearly every one of these damn simulated mocks.
Until the next one.
