The Vikings are in a difficult position for the NFL draft. The team could theoretically trade back to buy more options, but Minnesota now ranks 14th overall in the first round.
The Vikings don’t have a primary choice at all, but the team can still get a big perspective, which could improve the franchise’s long-term success.
Just a note: these draft prospects will be realistic targets for choice # 14 in the NFL draft. Yes, it would be great if Minnesota could recruit Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence, but it probably won’t.
