Vikings Mock Draft v4.2 7

I don’t shine shoes, I don’t tape ankles, I don’t cut checks. Straight mock homey!

This could be the last mock for this year that I post. It is hard to guess what the new regime is going to do. We can look at who they met with and which players had visits. We can look at how the Browns drafted to try and guess Kwesi’s philosophy. We can look at consensus mocks and what many folks feel is the proper and sensible direction for the Vikings to take in this draft. I have no clue but will give it a go using a combination of everything.

Kwesi said in his presser yesterday that Keenan McCardell got up and pounded the table for the team to NOT take a receiver in the first round. Very interesting. I believe it but am not sure that will dissuade the team from taking a receiver in the first. It could be subterfuge.

Obviously, the consensus is the team should take a corner despite having their starters in place. Dantzler is suddenly a borderline bust according to some of the folks who want a first round corner. Apparently he was not very impressive despite playing over 600 snaps the last two years as a third round pick. I wish we had gotten that much production from last year’s third round picks. If the team had to play next week most would be comfortable with Dantzler starting. All that being said, if the best player available is a corner then they should pull the trigger.

Edge rusher is never a bad idea and considering the team has two good ones returning from injury and possibly costing a lot more money, adding another stud would be smart. Very smart.

Without further ado ...

I have no clue if the team will select any of these players but they have met with a few.

I suspect that many of these players will go before I have them picked here as per usual.
