It's once again time for another installment of the Daily Norseman's 2013 NFL Mock Draft Database, allowing you to keep track of who the draftniks across the internet think the Minnesota Vikings are going to do in the first three rounds of the 2013 NFL Draft.
We now have 55 drafts in the database. . .the only new one I added to this installment was ours. . .and we still have an overwhelming favorite in the clubhouse. California wide receiver Keenan Allen was mocked to the Vikings in a whopping 13 of the 55 drafts that we now have in the database, and only one other player (Clemson wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins) as as many as five. Six different players appear four times in the first round of the database. Three of those six are wide receivers (Tennessee's Cordarrelle Patterson, who continues his drop, Baylor's Terrance Williams, and West Virginia's Tavon Austin), and three of them are defensive tackles (Ohio State's Johnathan Hankins, Purdue's Kawann Short, and North Carolina's Sylvester Williams).
Disappearing from the first round this week were Alabama defensive tackle Jesse Williams, Georgia defensive tackle John Jenkins, and Washington cornerback Desmond Trufant. Re-appearing in this week's first round is Florida State cornerback Xavier Rhodes, who finds his way back after a two-week absence.
Overall, 16 different players are projected to go to the Vikings in Round 1 of the 2013 NFL Draft at the present time, and wide receiver is still the overwhelming position of choice with a whopping 32 picks (58.2%). Defensive tackle is next on the list with 17 selections (30.9%), followed by linebacker and cornerback each receiving three selections (about 5.5% each).
With that, here is this week's installment of The Daily Norseman's Mock Draft Database.
