The Vikings can move Riley Reiff to guard
It might make sense to take a guard because of Kline’s likely departure. However, it seems like the 2020 tackle draft class is better than this year’s guard class.
Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said this at the NFL Combine:
“I think the tackles are pretty good. I think the guards maybe dropped off a little bit from last year,” Zimmer told reporters. “We’re just starting to process. We’re going to try and figure out what’s the best fit for us.”
Also the team has some options, because of Reiff’s potential versatility. The Star Tribune’s Andrew Krammer reported in February of 2019 that the Vikings were considering moving Reiff to the interior of the offensive line.
If the Vikings draft a tackle, the team could likely work out a position switch on the offensive line, making it so the team only loses one starter this offseason.
