Minnesota Vikings Mock Draft Monday

Here’s another stab at a mock draft for the Minnesota Vikings.

1. Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson

2. Domonique Orange, DT, Iowa State

3. Emmett Johnson, RB, Nebraska

3. Brian Parker, C, Duke

5. Ted Hurst, WR, Georgia State

6. Dallen Bentley, TE, Utah

7. Kage Casey, OT, Boise State

7. Ephesians Prysock, CB, Washington

7. Cole Payton, QB, North Dakota State

I like this draft. I wrestle with the decision of cornerback or defensive tackle with the first pick. One day, I like defensive tackles Caleb Banks or Lee Hunter. The next day, I like one of about four cornerbacks that could be available at #18. More often than not, that corner is Avieon Terrell. 

Avieon Terrell and Domonique Orange would be Day 1 starters at positions of significant need. 

Emmett Johnson is fast becoming a draft crush. 

I believe the Vikings will find their center of the present and future in the third round. In this mock, that player is Brian Parker. He played tackle at Duke but projects as a center. 

In this mock, I believe the Vikings would add two pass-catchers on Day 3, Ted Hurst and Dallen Bentley, that could make an immediate impact. 

Kage Casey, Ephesians Prysock, and Cole Payton are seventh-round swings at intriguing football players. 

While I like the players selected in this mock, I’m disappointed that I didn’t come out of it with any linebacker or safety help. To avoid that, I might have to sacrifice Emmett Johnson on Day 2.
