Minnesota Vikings Mock Draft

PFF’s Mock Draft Simulator makes these things too easy. The old days of notebooks, pens, and scattered magazines weren’t that long ago. Here’s another swing at a Minnesota Vikings mock draft. 

1(24).   Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan

3(97).   RJ Harvey, RB, Central Florida

5(139). Quincy Riley, CB, Louisville

5(160). Connor Colby, G, Iowa

I’d be a fan of this draft. With only four picks (three and an expected third-round Compensatory Pick), the Vikings have limited draft resources. I believe that it’s likely they trade back in the first round to boost those resources. I also believe that there will be a few players that if available at #24, the Vikings will stay where they are and grab that player. The immense, in size and talent, Kenneth Grant could be one of those players. In this mock draft, I’m grabbing Grant. 

The Vikings enter this offseason with significant needs at a few positions.

Defensive Line

Interior Offensive Line

Cornerback

Running Back

Free agency should change the priority of those needs but those positions should be supplemented with the Vikings limited draft resources. I see Kenneth Grant as a Day 1 starter. I like RJ Harvey to immediately partner with Aaron Jones and/or Cam Akers and to evolve into the team’s RB1. Quincy Riley should compete for early playing time. Connor Colby will provide line depth and could eventually start. 

This is probably one of the better PFF Vikings mocks that I’ve had. 

Until the next one.
