The Minnesota Vikings will certainly address the defensive side of the ball in the 2021 NFL Draft.

After the disaster that was last year’s Minnesota Vikings defense, which resulted from youth and injuries, Mike Zimmer will not allow them to leave the 2021 NFL Draft without significantly helping that side of the ball.

Last year’s rookie group was pretty solid, in all fairness. The Vikings rookie cornerbacks all had flashes, while Cameron Dantzler became arguably the team’s best outside corner after he returned from injury.
