Top 10 Targets for the Vikings

The Vikes need to land one of these three cornerbacks if they want to be in the playoffs this upcoming season. With these new pass heavy offensive schemes, you are gonna need a cornerback that can play cover 1 and 3 which all three of these prospects can do. With the Vikings not having a starting cornerback on their roster currently, they need to score on one of these prospects with one of their two first-round picks.

The Vikings can use one of their first-round picks on a wide receiver or they can wait until their second-round pick. With this deep receiver class, the Vikings can have Laviska Shenault fall due to injury same with receiver Brandon Aiyuk. If the Vikings decide to go receiver in the first-round they could grab, Mims and Reagor for sure and if Jefferson is still on the board, you have to take him.

They also lost Everson Griffen this offseason but there are talks swirling up that the Vikings might resign Griffen on the cheap. If they do not, the Vikings could draft an edge rusher in the second round. The edge rusher class is deeper than others think. Lewis and Okwara are first-round talent edge rushers if they did not have the injury concern. If the Vikings can snag one of those two guys in the second round, the Vikings defensive line can be more deadly than last season.
