The Vikings need some help on both the offensive and defensive line heading into the 2021 season.
In his first mock draft over at NFL.com, Lance Zierlein has the Vikings addressing the offensive line, drafting USC tackle Alijah Vera-Tucker with the 14th overall pick.
Here’s what Zierlein wrote about the pick:
One of the most surprising developments from the 2020 college season was Vera-Tucker’s play at left tackle after transitioning from guard. Needless to say, he’ll offer guard/tackle flexibility at the next level and would be an instant upgrade on the Vikings’ O-line.
For those wondering, Zierlein has only three quarterbacks going before the Vikings. He has Justin Fields being drafted 15th, a spot after the Vikings, to the Patriots.
I’d love to hop on Vikings Twitter to take the temperature on fans if that were to happen.
