Minnesota goes for need in penultimate Vikings Wire simulation

The penultimate Vikings Wire simulation saw the team draft a corner, wide receiver and from there, filled as many needs as it could.

Round 6: Liberty WR Antonio Gandy-Golden

Though Minnesota already drafted a wide receiver in the first round, if Gandy-Golden falls to the Vikings in the sixth, I think they should take him.

He dominated opposing defenses when he was at Liberty and he could have a high ceiling if his skill translates to the NFL level. Maybe the level of talent in the NFL will be too big of a step up, but I think it’s worth the risk.

He’s an athletic, big-bodied wide receiver who could complement a speedier wide receiver like Thielen well.
