The Minnesota Vikings have a need at the wide receiver position this year and this is a very interesting year to have that need.
Unlike previous years, this wide receiver class isn’t great. There isn’t a lot of top end talent this year, especially when you consider last year had six guys taken in the top-18 picks. In 2023, there is a high probability that we might see only one wide receiver in the top 18.
Personally, I like this wide receiver class more than most people and have five first-round grades. There is only one receiver I believe can be an alpha in this class, but a lot of really nice complementary pieces.
With the Vikings having such a big need at the position, I scouted 20 players in this class and each player will have a full scouting report attached. Here are my rankings for the 2023 class.
