What does Minnesota need? I feel like they could go anywhere because they dont really have glaring weaknesses so they could just get even deeper at a strength or go somewhere if they think someone they have will be a cap casualty. Minnesota is set up very well for a while

I went with Connor Williams as first preference & James Daniel second preference.

Right now interior OL is needed most, but getting OT is sufficient, & we can slide peices. An OL selection likely is the only starting spot available on the roster.

Getting value while hitting your topn need is a win win

OL or DT. 

Connor Williams, Billy Price, Frank Ragnow, James Daniels, Kolton Miller or Maurice Hurst would all be fine picks.

The Vikings like Harris and Kearse, right? 

With Sendejo hitting 31 this year and already lacking as an athlete, I think if Minny wanted a more athletic safety, they have their pick here in Reid/Harrison. Both can sit if needed.

I have thought that as well, and getting Reid would be a great pick and he could potentially play a little slot coverage as well something they do need.  However they signed Sendejo through 2018 getting about 3.5 Million and 2019 getting 5.5 Million.  Still is an option but would be surprised if they do not get OL which is by far the biggest need.  Also could argue CB would not be a terrible idea if a really good ones falls that far in the 1st and the OLs they want are gone.  

 

I do not think they are going to give up on Harris or Kearse just yet, especially Kearse but neither one has shown really great ability or growth just yet but will see.
