It would not have been crazy to list Trevon Diggs going to the Vikings in a mock draft a few months ago.
But now, if you make a decision like that, you at least have to explain it, and that’s what CBS Sports did. Trevon is the little bother to Stefon, the former Vikings wide receiver who was eventually traded to the Bills for draft picks.
If Trevon is coming to the Vikings, hopefully the team knows that it won’t have the same issues with him as they did with his brother. Here’s what CBS Sports said about picking Trevon to go to Minnesota at No. 22:
“Let’s assume the Vikings are willing to make amends to the Diggs family after trading away Stefon, because they understand they need to replace Xavier Rhodes and can’t let personal feelings get in the way of winning football games. Stranger things have happened, and what’s a draft without a little drama, anyway?”
It could work, but Jeff Gladney and Jaylon Johnson are also both cornerback options who could get taken in the first round. With the 25th pick, Minnesota drafted TCU wideout Jalen Reagor in the CBS Sports mock draft.
