With the NFL Draft just a day away, Cris Collinsworth, the mastermind of Pro Football Focus, posted. his mock draft on Wednesday.
Collinsworth has the Vikings drafting Clemson wide receiver Tee Higgins with the 22nd overall pick and South Carolina defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw with the 25th pick.
Higgins is a player who has been linked to the Vikings in a few mock drafts. With Stefon Diggs gone, it’s certainly a need. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Vikings wait until the second round for a wide receiver considering how deep this wide receiver class is.
As for Kinlaw, the defensive tackle position isn’t as big of a need for this team such as cornerback or offensive line, but most project Kinlaw to go in the first half of the first round. The team signed Michael Pierce, but Shamar Stephen leaves a lot to be desired.
