Xavier Rhodes could very well be a candidate to get cut due to the salary cap situation. Trae Waynes and Mackensie Alexander are also both entering free agency.
It’s possible none of those players return to the Vikings, and it’s almost a certainty that at least one of them doesn’t. So how are the Vikings going to fill in the cornerback position?
Bleacher Report thinks they can do so with their first round pick. The outlet chose Bryce Hall, a cornerback out of Virginia, to go to the Vikings at No. 25 overall.
Hall had five career interceptions and 44 pass deflections in his collegiate career. He probably could have improved upon those numbers, if it wasn’t for a season-ending ankle injury during his senior year. He played in just six games for the Cavaliers as a senior.
Hall is a combine invitee, so he’s a guy who can possibly raise his stock by showing teams the ankle is just fine.
