I have several versions in this mock but the top one is the first. I have been using the fanspeak on the clock premium draft game to do these mocks. http://fanspeak.com/ontheclock/premium.php

23: Vernon Hargreaves III CB Florida Jr 5-10 204
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/vernon-hargreaves?id=2555299
http://www.thehuddlereport.com/archive/2016profiles/Vernon.Hargreaves.htm
It is highly unlikely Hargreaves falls to #23 but if he does I just cannot see passing on him. Zimmer loves him some corners and with Munnerlyn a free agent next year and Newman likely retired, another corner is going to be necessary at some point. Just too much value here.
54: Michael Thomas WR Ohio State rJr 6-3 212
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/michael-thomas?id=2555347
http://www.thehuddlereport.com/archive/2016profiles/Michael.Thomas.htm
I think this is pretty good value here to take a receiver. Whether or not Thomas lasts this long is always up for debate and sure to met with doubt. I think all of the receivers in this draft are second rounders except for Corey Coleman.
94: Jaylon Smith OLB Notre Dame Jr 6-2 223
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/jaylon-smith?id=2555310
http://www.thehuddlereport.com/archive/2016profiles/Jaylon.Smith.htm
I think this would be a fantastic pick provided that the Vikings doctors give a thumbs up. I expect that if he recovers and returns to his collegiate form this could end up being the steal of the decade. It is a risk for sure and taking Deion Jones here would be safer. But I like the chance of a huge reward!
121: Javon Hargrave DT South Carolina State Sr 6-1 309
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/javon-hargrave?id=2555239
http://www.nfl.com/photoessays/0ap3000000650550
Obviously, the Vikings need to select a defensive tackle and Hargrave was very very productive in college. I anticipate he will eventually take over the Tom Johnson role and maybe even do more.
128: Miles Killebrew SS Southern Utah Sr 6-2 217
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/miles-killebrew?id=2555315
http://www.thehuddlereport.com/archive/2016profiles/Miles.Killebrew.htm
Killebrew is one of my favorite prospects and due to his level of competition this could be right around the right spot where he will come off the board.
160: Graham Glasgow OG Michigan rSr 6-6 307
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/graham-glasgow?id=2555182
http://www.thehuddlereport.com/archive/2016profiles/Graham.Glasgow.htm
I do believe the Vikings will take one offensive lineman but that is about it. While this is not a tackle, Glasgow can provide position flexibility to play all the interior line spots. I would not be opposed to a trade for Joe Thomas either.
196: Ben Braunecker TE Harvard Sr 6-3 250
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/ben-braunecker?id=2555482
I think the Vikings need another tight end due to the fact that Ellison us likely to start off the year on the PUP.
240: Dan Vitale FB Northwestern Sr 6-1 239
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/dan-vitale?id=2555218
http://www.thehuddlereport.com/archive/2016profiles/Dan.Vitale.htm
This may not be a pick that people feel is necessary but I like Vitale a lot. I think that he can do several things well and could be utilized in several ways.
243: Stephen Weatherly DE Vanderbilt rJr 6-4 267
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/stephen-weatherly?id=2555529
The Vikings like Weatherly enough to have invited him for a pre-draft visit which indicates their interest.
UDFA

Cody Core WR Ole Miss Sr 6-3 205
MarQuez North WR Tennessee Jr 6-2 223

Dean Lowry DE Northwestern Sr 6-6 296
Tom Hackett P Utah Sr 5-10 198
Now some of the UDFAs are likley to get selected but they did not in this particular mock. I could easily swap a different QB and punter.
Here are some other mocks that I did ...
