With the Super Bowl now over, it’s time for NFL fans to focus on the upcoming NFL Draft.
The folks over at Pro Football Focus put together their second mock draft. With the 25th overall pick, Michael Renner has the Vikings selecting Auburn defensive end Marlon Davidson.
Here’s what Renner wrote about Davidson:
Davidson was one of the biggest movers with his play at the Senior Bowl a couple of weeks ago. He has prototypical 3-tech traits even though he played mostly on the edge at Auburn. Earning an 83.8 pass-rushing grade playing out of position in the SEC is pretty dang impressive.
Most scouts think that Davidson can play both defensive end and defensive tackle at the next level, which will be big for the Vikings considering they could be without Everson Griffen next season. As far as the interior is concerned, Linval Joseph took a step back last season.
Davidson played four years at Auburn and had a career-high 6.5 sacks last season. He was named First-Team All-SEC in 2019.
