2015 Minnesota Vikings Mock Draft Database, v4.0

I thought about giving the Mock Draft Database the week off this week, in light of yesterday's big trade for wide receiver Mike Wallace and the dominance that the wide receiver position has had in our database thus far. However, I figured that we could see the change next week whether we take this week off or not, so we're back with Version 4.0 of the 2015 Minnesota Vikings Mock Draft Database.

We are now officially up to 70 mocks in the database this week, so let's start out with the full list of mocks that went into this week's numbers.

There have been a few changes, number-wise, but nothing too significant. I'm guessing, however, that will change next week as more mock drafts are changed to reflect the Wallace trade. I don't think it will necessarily eliminate the Vikings taking a wide receiver at #11, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the primary focus shift to different places.

For now, however, the wide receivers continue to top our board, but they're below 50% for the first time, as they hold 32 of the 70 selections on our board (45.7%). Louisville receiver DeVante Parker continues to hold our top overall spot with 20 of those 70 selections (28.6%), which is up from the 17 he had last week. Kevin White of West Virginia and Amari Cooper of Alabama both increased their holdings this week as well, as they both jumped from four selections to six (8.6% each).

Next we have the defensive backs, who I suspect will take over next week, holding on to 19 of our 70 selections (27.1%). Michigan State cornerback Trae Waynes continues to lead the way for them, as he's gone from 15 selections last week to 17 this time around (24.3%). Alabama safety Landon Collins holds steady this week with two selections (2.9%).

Offensive linemen, who I guess will also see a jump next week, are next on the list with 12 total picks (17.1%). Brandon Scherff of Iowa picked up an extra selection this week to bump him up from three to four (5.7%), enough to tie him with LSU guard La'el Collins (5.7%). Andrus Peat of Stanford held steady with two selections (2.9%), while Ereck Flowers and T.J. Clemmings each held on to one selection (1.4% each).

The rest of the spots remain the same this time around. Defensive linemen continue to hold four picks (5.7%) in this week's database, as Shane Ray and Danny Shelton each account for two selections this week (2.9% each), while Shaq Thompson holds steady at the linebacker spot with three selections (4.3%).

So, on to the graphical representations, starting with this week's donut graph and a breakdown of this week's selections.

And, lastly, the Jell-o salad graph depicting the overall trend. Like I said, next week at this time I'm guessing the purple sections of this graph will be much smaller than they currently are.

So that's your mock draft database for this week, ladies and gentlemen. What kind of changes will the next seven days bring? You'll have to be here next week to find out!
