Vikings go wide receiver, edge rusher in first round of recent mock draft simulation

If Anthony Harris stays on the Vikings, Minnesota can focus on different positions in the NFL Draft. Vikings Wire ran a full seven-round simulation and here is what came back.

A lot of mock drafts have the Vikings taking A. J. Epenesa at this point, but Baun had slightly more sacks in his 2019 collegiate season, totaling 12.5 to Epenesa’s 11.5.

Baun was also faster than Epenesa in the 40-yard dash at the combine. Granted, it’s the combine, and the players are running in a straight line for the 40-yard dash, but still. Baun had a 4.65 to Epenesa’s 5.04. That’s a pretty big difference. If Baun can convert to defensive end in the NFL, the Vikings should definitely take a look at him.
