2016 NFL Mock Draft: Week 8 Update
By Jon Dove
20. Minnesota Vikings (4-2)- Laquon Treadwell, WR, Ole Miss
Stefon Diggs’ emergence has been huge for the Minnesota Vikings but it’s fair to say that the limited production of Charles Johnson and Mike Wallace has been equally disappointing. Minnesota needs to bring in another talented playmaker to help the development of Teddy Bridgewater.
Right now, the Vikings run their offense through Adrian Peterson but he won’t last forever. Adding a big-play threat like Ole Miss’ Laquon Treadwell would put the Vikings in position to transition once Peterson isn’t able to perform at a high level.
The offensive tackle spot is a also major concern, but at this point in the draft there isn’t a ton of value to be had at that position.
