There’s no denying that the Vikings are in need of help at cornerback and receiver.
Minnesota lost cornerbacks Xavier Rhodes, Trae Waynes and Mackensie Alexander to free agency and also traded wide receiver Stefon Diggs to the Bills.
In his fourth mock draft over at NFL.com, Bucky Brooks has the Vikings addressing both positions in the first round.
With the 22nd pick, Brooks has the Vikings drafting LSU cornerback Kristian Fulton.
Here’s what Brooks wrote about the pick:
The Vikings need to replace their departed starting CBs with plug-and-play prospects. Fulton has all of the tools needed to be a high-level cover corner early in his career.
With the 25th pick, Brooks has the Vikings drafting another LSU player, wide receiver Justin Jefferson.
Here’s what Brooks wrote about the pick:
The Vikings could replace Stefon Diggs with a versatile receiver possessing exceptional route-running skills and dependable hands.
Fulton and Jefferson wouldn’t have to change their uniform colors, so that’s convenient!
I think this would be considered a huge win for the Vikings in the first round. What do you think?
