Kiper, McShay agree guard is Vikings' top priority, but second round brings intrigue

There’s one thing the experts agree on: the Minnesota Vikings' most pressing need in the NFL draft is shoring up the offensive line, starting at guard.

ESPN draft analysts Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay released their fourth mock draft on Wednesday, this time also projecting out each team’s second-round picks. More on that later.

There has been quite a bit of movement on the Vikings' O-line since Kiper and McShay’s last mocks in March. Two weeks ago, veteran guard Joe Berger retired after 13 years. That same day, top reserve lineman Jeremiah Sirles signed with the Carolina Panthers.
