MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – The NFL experts at CBS Sports think it’s a lock the Vikings will draft a defensive player in the first round Thursday night.
In their latest mock drafts, four of the five experts have the Vikings taking a cornerback, while one thinks they’ll go for a defensive tackle.
Chris Trapasso, Josh Edwards and Kyle Stackpole all have the Vikings selecting cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. out of LSU with the 12th pick. Seen by some as the best defensive back in the draft, Stingley falling to 12 would be a dream for the corner-deficient Vikings.
