Minnesota reportedly traded wide receiver Stefon Diggs, and defensive end Everson Griffen announced on Instagram that he was leaving the team.
That means the Vikings currently have openings at wide receiver and defensive end. CBS Sports thinks the team could go fix those issues in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Minnesota drafted Notre Dame defensive end Julian Okwara with the No. 22 overall pick in a recent CBS Sports mock draft. Then, the Vikings picked Baylor wide receiver Denzel Mims at No. 25 in the mock draft.
These picks make sense, especially Mims at 25. I think the No. 22 overall pick might be an offensive lineman, either a tackle or a guard. Guard would make sense because the team terminated Josh Kline’s contract. However, it is a tackle-heavy draft, and tackle Riley Reiff could either be a cap casualty or the team could move him to guard. But regardless, Minnesota has options in the draft come April, with 12 picks in total after reportedly trading Diggs.
