The 2020 NFL season hasn’t started yet, but here we are talking about the 2021 NFL Draft.
That’s how the content cycle in the NFL works and we just go along with it.
Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller posted a 2021 mock draft prior to the 2020 season. With the 21st pick, Miller has the Vikings selecting Georgia defensive lineman Jordan Davis.
Here’s what Miller wrote about the pick:
Jordan Davis is the top interior defensive lineman in the 2021 class and among the most exciting underclassmen in the nation. The Georgia defense is loaded with talent, but it all revolves around Davis in the middle.
His tape as a sophomore last season was full of dominant flashes. If he takes the next step in 2020, his 6’6″, 310-pound frame could make him a Javon Kinlaw-type prospect and a top-10-graded player.
The Vikings are already loaded at defensive end with Danielle Hunter and Yannick Ngakoue. The depth chart gets a little soft, though, at the interior defensive line spot with Jaleel Johnson and Shamar Stephen.
While the team will likely have Michael Pierce back in 2021, there’s still a spot next to him the team could upgrade. Maybe that could be addressed in the first round of next year’s draft and if it is, maybe it could be Davis.
