After messy exits, would Vikings try another Diggs (or Moss or Winfield)?
The most intriguing Vikings subplot in this week’s NFL draft involves a familiar name (or two or three).
The Vikings have two first-round picks and a certified need at cornerback after the departures of Xavier Rhodes, Trae Waynes and Mackensie Alexander this offseason.
The first of those picks, No. 22 overall, was obtained from Buffalo in the trade for wide receiver Stefon Diggs. Longtime NFL writer Peter King, in his mock draft, suggests that the Vikings at that spot will take a big-bodied corner (6-2) who can stand up to the types of big, physical receivers who dominate the NFL these days. And he played at Alabama? All the better.
That corner’s name? Trevon Diggs. Yes, the brother of Stefon.
