In a recent mock simulation, Vikings Wire went with a quarterback early, then solved a need with the next pick.

Round 6: Arkansas CB/S Kamren Curl

Curl is really only a reserve at this point, so the Vikings would either have to do something in free agency or go with Mike Hughes and Holton Hill out wide next season. Maybe Curl can compete for the nickel spot, but Minnesota has some cap space left, so the team should use it on one of its remaining needs. Also, Curl played safety and corner for the Razorbacks, but safety probably has less openings than corner next season. If this is the way the draft goes, the Vikings will have had to spend money on a corner in free agency.
