28. Minnesota Vikings- Taylor Decker, OT, Ohio State

The Minnesota Vikings are one of the big surprises of the season mainly because they currently sit atop the NFC North. This is a balanced team that features a strong defense, good ground attack and an efficient passing game.

However, issues along the offensive line have the potential to derail their playoff hopes. This group has already allowed 25 sacks in an offense that ranks second to last in passing attempts.

Matt Kalil has improved from his disastrous 2014 year, but he still doesn’t resemble the player he was early in his career. The Vikings need to protect Teddy Bridgewater to help him develop and keep him healthy.

Another way the Vikings could help Bridgewater’s development is by adding another receiver to the mix. Because of his salary and inconsistent play, it appears likely that Mike Wallace will be let go during the offseason. This leaves Stefon Diggs as the only real threat on the outside

A big target like Ole Miss’ Laquon Treadwell would make a ton of sense. He has the size and catch radius needed to win in contested situations. Treadwell is the type of target that consistently helps his quarterback because he doesn’t need to be wide open to make a play.
