With Pick #207 in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings have selected offensive tackle Blake Brandel from Oregon State University.
Brandel had a very good college career with the Beavers, starting 48 consecutive games for them over the course of his career. With the Vikings needing depth on the offensive line, he’s going to have an opportunity to compete for a spot as the swing tackle on the roster. He may need some time to develop, but the Vikings obviously see something in him that they like.
We’ve still got plenty of picks to go on this third day of the 2020 NFL Draft, as the Vikings still have five more selections in their pockets. What are they going to do with them? Make sure you keep everything tuned right here to The Daily Norseman to find out!
