Touchdown Wire

Roger McCreary, Minnesota Vikings (Pick 46)

This two-round mock has Auburn cornerback [autotag]Roger McCreary[/autotag] being selected with the 14th pick of the second round by the Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota just resigned cornerback Patrick Peterson to a one-year deal, but it’ll still be looking for corner help to bolster the rest of the secondary. McCreary, a press-man corner who plays bigger than his size, would be a good option here.

This draft is particularly deep at cornerback, and Touchdown Wire has McCreary as the seventh cornerback taken in the draft overall. Despite not being one of the forefront corner talents in the draft, McCreary could still find himself in a starting role as a press-man specialist for an NFL team if he’s picked early enough in the draft.
