Market being created for wide receivers

Related Topics: Wide receiver, Minnesota Vikings

The conventional wisdom is that the Minnesota Vikings are locked and loaded with selecting a wide receiver with the 23rd pick if the 2016 NFL Draft, seeing as the Vikings have addressed just about every position of need in free agency – most coming in re-signing their own and keeping the band together.

The one exception has been at wide receiver. Mike Wallace produced little as a Viking and the only difference in the current makeup of the Vikings wide receiver room is that Wallace is no longer allowed past the velvet rope.

There is no guarantee that the Vikings are going to take a wide receiver with their first-round pick, Wide receiver may end up being the collateral damage of a trade-happy first round.
