Daily Norseman 2018 Community Mock Draft

We are less than five weeks from the start of the 2018 NFL Draft, and we as a community of Minnesota Vikings fans are going to mock the entire first round of this year’s selection meeting.

Each day, we will move on to a new pick in the first round of the NFL Draft, complete with a post of team needs and such for each team. At the end, a poll with a number of realistic options will be presented and open for a little less than 24 hours. From there, we’ll declare a “winner” for that particular spot and move on to the next pick.

We should be able to get the entire first round knocked out by the start of the actual NFL Draft on Thursday, 26 April.

With that, here is the full first round draft order. We’ll use this to do a full tracking of the results as well.
