Vikings take Northwestern OL Rashawn Slater in Todd McShay’s mock draft

Do you want the Minnesota Vikings to draft Northwestern guard/tackle Rashawn Slater in the 2021 NFL draft?

Minnesota has a decision to make with offensive lineman Ezra Cleveland.

Despite playing tackle in college, Cleveland is coming off a rookie season where he played right guard. The Vikings could move him to left tackle this season after the team released Riley Reiff. However, there’s an argument to be made that Cleveland should stay at right guard.

So it might make sense for the Vikings to take a versatile offensive lineman in the draft. Maybe one who, like Cleveland, could play on the interior or exterior. That’s the kind of player ESPN’s Todd McShay has Minnesota taking in a recent mock draft.
