DT Brown is now at his rightful spot at #8.



Next, let's look at another position of need; this time, let's closely examine all of the offensive linemen:







(Note that some of the O-linemen here played tackle in college, but their selected position reflects where they will likely end up in the NFL.)



This isn't a good year for needing interior O-linemen, but the tackles are a plenty. For the Vikings' needs, they'll likely be targeting O-linemen who have higher pSparq and RAS ratings, though they won't be totally bound by this - last year's 4th rounder G Dru Samia ranked very low athletically.



Some later round picks that fit the Vikings system would be Hennessy and Peart, and later on Driscoll and Adeniji would also be fits. With a couple of project O-linemen already on the roster (Samia, Udoh, Collins?) and some depth pieces (Elflein, Dozier, Jones, Hill), there's not a ton of room open for more projects. They need guys to step up and start, but for guard I'm not sure there's a lot here. I wouldn't rule out moving one of these tackles to guard (Wanogho comes to mind), as many NFL guards played tackle in college.



And if only I had this board ready back when I did my "Guide to the Offseason" article... I certainly wouldn't do Lemieux in the first round round again.



Anyways, any O-linemen pique your interest?

The Huddle Report has him at 124.



That’s the highest I have seen Vildor. NMVike:The Huddle Report has him at 124.That’s the highest I have seen Vildor.







Couple Underrated CB's...



I really like Stanford Samuels I’ve noticed a lot of people really hard on him but I think he should be up there just behind Dantzler and Bryce Hall, Also really hope the Vikings target Darnay Holmes I like what he can do a lot too. Overall good work thank you! gretheine:Couple Underrated CB's...I really like Stanford Samuels I’ve noticed a lot of people really hard on him but I think he should be up there just behind Dantzler and Bryce Hall, Also really hope the Vikings target Darnay Holmes I like what he can do a lot too.

I am still on the Blacklock bandwagon...



Maybe first is considered too high for him, but I doubt he makes it to #58. I have the same view of Ruiz, great fit for the team but not at #22 or #25. I would though, not mind Blacklock at #25. He is exactly the type of 3t we are in need of. Hairman55:I am still on the Blacklock bandwagon...Maybe first is considered too high for him, but I doubt he makes it to #58.

again, this is great stuff



and makes people rethink who they are locked into draftwise. People seem to love Dantzler and the Vikings facetimed with him. But the Vikings are known to have athleticism range limits and man … Dantzler’s profile is pooooooor.



I think the CBs we could see:

Round 1. Fulton or Terrell or maybe Jaylon JOhnson

Round 3: Ojemudia

Round 4: Harrison Hand



Why didn’t I mention round 2? Because Matt Hennessy at 58!!! That’s why! supavike1:again, this is great stuffand makes people rethink who they are locked into draftwise.

from where he’s usually pegged in the top 5. I think he goes mid-teens instead. Kinlaw goes ahead of him.



I don’t think athletic profile is THE determinant. But up in the top 5, you have a right to be super picky to want your guys to have it all.

Great breakdown (again!)



Much appreciated is all the work you have put in to help us all better understand each prospects value. This is a helpful board as well, focussing on the Vikings needs only.



I have spent a lot of time with mocks trying to determine when an OT and when WR’s need to be taken in order t land higher tier prospects. So what I am reading from this is that in order to get one of the top four tackles, one needs to most likely trade up to 12. Obviously different teams have different needs. I have found in mocks that usually by Denver’s pick at 15, those four tackles are gone. Makes sense. Sometimes the four are gone by the 10th pick. So it would make sense that a pick in the top 12 has probably at 50/50 shot at getting one of the top tackles.



I think this will be my next Friday Night Mock, in order to see how this affects the rest of the draft. I will maybe do two, one trading a future one, and one trading up with just this years picks. Interesting to see what will be left in each of these.



It will be interesting to see just how much of a priority, the Vikings place on OT. I’m not sold that they have this as their first priority. I think it is, but it is just so hard to know for certain. They may have a completely different plan for the O-line that will involve Wililams, or keeping Reiff, or one of many other possible plans. Can’t wait for the draft!

How did you compute Terrell Lewis's RAS?



He only completed two tests, vertical jump and broad jump, and both were elite.



relativeathleticscores.com/2020/02/03/terrell-lewis-ras-2/



Same question for his p-sparq



he didn’t complete enough tests to compile a score. FLVikingClone:How did you compute Terrell Lewis's RAS?He only completed two tests, vertical jump and broad jump, and both were elite.Same question for his p-sparqhe didn’t complete enough tests to compile a score.





He completed no tests at the combine and thus has no RAS, etc:

This was also backed by the Athletic's Dane Brugler having Kinlaw slide due to medical reasons in his latest mock draft.



This may be hearsay, but every year we see a few prospects slide down boards due to injury problems. Last year it was Jawaan Taylor, this year it might be Kinlaw. Didn't know where else to put this, so here's this:This was also backed by the Athletic's Dane Brugler having Kinlaw slide due to medical reasons in his latest mock draft.This may be hearsay, but every year we see a few prospects slide down boards due to injury problems.
