Consensus Mock Draft - Post Combine - Pick 18 - Minnesota Vikings

[goldfishwars]

Going to adopt the "1st choice, 2nd choice, 3rd choice" method. Meaning your first choice is worth 3 points, 2nd is worth 2, and 3rd is worth 1. Please do not select the same player multiple times in one selection. If you do, only the highest value will be taken for that and the lower duplicate votes will be discounted.

1. Arizona Cardinals: Kyler Murray, QB - Oklahoma
2. San Francisco 49ers: Nick Bosa, EDGE - Ohio State
3. New York Jets: Quinnen Williams, DT, Alabama
4. Oakland Raiders: Josh Allen, EDGE - Kentucky
5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Devin White, LB - LSU
6. New York Giants: Dwayne Haskins, QB - Ohio State
7. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jawaan Taylor, OT - Florida
8. Detroit Lions: Montez Sweat, DE - Mississippi State
9. Buffalo Bills: Ed Oliver, DT, Houston
10. Denver Broncos: Drew Lock, QB - Missouri
11. Cincinnati Bengals: Devin Bush, LB - Michigan
12. Green Bay Packers: Brian Burns, EDGE - Florida State
13. Miami Dolphins: Rashan Gary, DL - Michigan
14. Atlanta Falcons: Christian Wilkins, DT - Clemson
15. Washington Redskins: Greedy Wiliams, CB - LSU
16. Carolina Panthers: Clellin Ferrell, EDGE - Clemson
17. New York Giants:  Jonah Williams, OT - Alabama
18. Minnesota Vikings:
 

More options will be added in later picks. If after 20+ votes the selection is clearly one person as the favorite we will move on to the next pick. Otherwise It will be ~24 hours before the poll closes. If there are 2/3 options that are close, there will be a runoff. This is who you think they WILL pick, not who they SHOULD pick.

Kirk needs protection. Dilliard best pass protector in the draft.

Can we please not vote for the same guy three times, rules are pretty clear

[JaguarCrazy2832]

I much like everyone else voted heavy on OL

[INbengalfan]

They are going o-line

 

Dillard-Ford-Risner is the way I voted

[Ozzy]

I went with Risner or Ford because both could play OG or OT potentially, Dillard is just a OT, very good but not sure he would be a good fit at guard like the other two might be.  And guard is a bigger need for the team, sure center with Bradbury is an option also but I think it is a little high for that as well.  I do not believe Reiff or O'Neill could transition to OG so that is not an option either unless they trade Reiff or something which is probably not a good idea.  

 

Heck the fact that Greg Little is not even an option on this list is sad.  That guy is really getting disrespected, and heck I think he could maybe play guard possibly also and is already a standout pass protector.  But the lack of elite athletic ability scares some away obviously.  Any OL is a absolute must for the Vikings though so that is where they should go clearly.  

[vikingsrule]

I voted:

1) C Bradbury - moves Elflein to LG

2) T Dillard - long term LT, moves Reiff to LG

3) G Ford - Probably starts at G. Could move to RT while O'Neill moves to LT and Reiff to LG

You can't go wrong giving MN OL as long as they translate to a ZBS.

I can't believe Hockenson is gonna fall to the Titans.

[RpMc]

Hockenson is the easy choice... followed up by athletic lineman in Dillard and Bradbury.

He's very tempting. But I feel this is how MN has gotten where they are in regards to having a terrible IOL. The Vikes seem to be quick to grab the flashy skill player that falls yet don't have a single average starting quality IOL. I'm usually fine waiting until after round one for IOL, I just don't think MN can afford to wait this year. They chose to keep Rudolph when cutting him earlier may have helped acquire an average starting IOL.

Kirk's tackles are fine. O'Neill was solid at RT as a rookie and Reiff is steady at LT. Dillard makes sense if you're comfortable moving Reiff to Guard. I am but I'd still prefer the top IOL available (Bradbury imo).

IOL was the biggest issue for MN last year. They couldn't run the ball because of it and Kirk rarely had a clean pocket to step into. 

[The Gnat]

I went Ford - Dillard - Hock

I think Ford in the interior of the offensive line would work better than replacing Rieff this year. But Dillard is a clear #2. Hock just seems like a really good option because of value there.

[VikeManDan]

Would be ecstatic if the board falls this way on draft night. I might've jumped the gun a little early but I went Dillard, Bradbury, Ford.

DK is really tempting here

I feel the same way but about Hock. Dont have a need but at some point teams can realize those 2 TEs pose matchup issues moreso than a 3rd/4th WR
