Vikings draft tackle, corner in first two rounds of TDN mock simulation

Vikings Wire did a simulated mock draft. Here are the picks!

There have been more questions than answers as to whom the Vikings will take with the 25th pick and beyond in the 2020 NFL Draft.

From corner, to offensive line, to even trading picks, there has been endless suggestions and mock drafts speculating about Minnesota’s decisions.

But in this mock, I’m the one who had to make the choice. I recently compiled a mock simulation on The Draft Network (pretty fun if you haven’t done it) and this is what I came up with after seven rounds of drafting. It’s hard to say what will actually happen in April, but if these players fall to the Vikings in their respective rounds, I wouldn’t be mad at all.

These are the players I chose.

Round 1: Houston OT Josh Jones

For an offensive line that is improving but needs a tackle, this pick was almost a no-brainer. Riley Reiff could be a cap casualty, which means there’s an opening at tackle. Houston tackle Josh Jones struggles with certain fundamentals but is physically opposing and his ceiling is high. I think the Vikings should take a chance.
