Three reasons the Vikings should take an offensive tackle in the first round of the draft

The Vikings have some options in the first round. One of them the team should consider is drafting a tackle.

The team has depth on the offensive line, but not enough starters

Barring the Vikings re-signing Kline to a cheaper deal, it seems like the team will have to replace at least one starting offensive lineman from last season.

Some of the other starters were serviceable for the team in 2019. PFF gave grades to each Vikings offensive lineman, the highest-graded player was tackle Brian O’Neill, who earned a 70.8 out of a possible 100.

O’Neill was solid, and the others have shown promise, but the team needs to make sure it doesn’t fall off on the offensive line after likely losing Kline this offseason. It could do that by drafting a tackle.
