Minnesota fixed some issues at wide receiver and cornerback, and CBS Sports has the team sticking to the trenches in a recent mock draft.
The outlet predicted the team taking Missouri defensive tackle Jordan Elliott, Boise State tackle Ezra Cleveland and Charlotte defensive end Alex Highsmith in a mock draft of the day two picks.
My personally favorite of those choices is Cleveland, who could probably come in and start right away. Those other players have chances to start, but they have to compete with better competition on the Vikings roster.
Here’s what the outlet said about Cleveland:
“Dream come true scenario for the Vikings, as Cleveland’s skill set matches perfect with Gary Kubiak’s stretch-run scheme.”
Cleveland could come in and instantly help the team move outside the tackles by getting out in space. If Dalvin Cook stays healthy, and the Vikings draft Cleveland, I could see the run game improving in 2020.
