The Minnesota Vikings have been mocked 14 different players that can play cornerback so far this year. It’s been a common occurrence because the Vikings only have three cornerbacks on the roster in Cameron Dantzler, Andrew Booth Jr and Akayleb Evans.
Until the Vikings fix the major holes vacated by free agency, it will continue to be a theme. Damian Parson of The Draft Network agrees. He sent the Vikings an aggressive cornerback in Maryland’s Deonte Banks.
“The Vikings’ defensive secondary was not impressive in 2022. This defense needs to take a step forward heading into 2023 to prevent so many one-score affairs. Deonte Banks has the height, weight, and speed to succeed on the perimeter in the NFL. He has the traits to potentially become the Vikings’ CB1 of the future.”
Everything that Parson wrote is true. Banks a physical player on the outside who proved that he could hang with the top receivers in the country. He would be able to compete for a starting job on day one.
