The Vikings might have an opening at defensive tackle next season, and a recent Bleacher Report mock draft has the team taking a defensive tackle in the first round.
Oklahoma’s Neville Gallimore was chosen by Bleacher Report to go to Minnesota with the No. 25 overall pick in the first round of the draft.
This would make sense considering that Linval Joseph might end up getting cut due to the salary cap situation. I think he’s a guy the Vikings should try to keep around, though, so maybe restructuring the deal or an extension is in play. Then, it would still make sense because having those two as the Vikings starting defensive tackles could plug up holes and create pressure.
No surprises here: Bleacher Report said LSU’s Joe Burrow will go to the Bengals at No. 1 in that same mock draft. Ohio State’s Chase Young was the next pick in the mock, going to the Redskins.
