2018 SB Nation Writer Mock Draft: Why Josh Jackson was our pick

For those of you that have been following the 2018 SB Nation Writer Mock Draft, you saw that our pick went off the board earlier this morning. It wasn’t a player at the one spot that the Vikings have the greatest need at, but there’s a reason for that.

With the way the board fell, I wound up selecting Iowa cornerback Josh Jackson for the Minnesota Vikings. While cornerback is a need for the Vikings, we know that it isn’t the absolutely screaming need that the offensive line is. However, with the way that the board had fallen to that point, I didn’t think Jackson could be passed up.
