When recent mock drafts try to narrow down what Minnesota will do with its No. 25 overall pick, Neville Gallimore is a name that comes up a lot.
The Oklahoma defensive tackle came up yet again, going to the Vikings in a recent mock draft done by FanSided.
The outlet mentioned the team’s problem with the current salary cap and how the team will have to emphasize the draft more this year because of it.
They also said this:
A big-bodied lineman that surprisingly isn’t the best run defender, Gallimore is adept at applying pressure on the quarterback using his hands to disrupt defenders and his athleticism to change directions quickly once he has disrupted them. Gallimore is the type of defender that the Vikings seem to like and needs trumps best player available here for the cap-strapped Vikings.
If Linval Joseph stays, Gallimore could be a nice complement to him, and if not, then the Vikings will lack depth at defensive tackle and might want to add Gallimore anyway, so it makes sense.
