By now, mock drafts have sent virtually everyone in between the range of 5th-20th best-ranked prospects in the 2021 NFL Draft to the Minnesota Vikings. It’s the nature of the beast in March and April, although there is a slight lull during free agency.
The most frequently mocked-names sent to Minnesota include Kwity Paye (DE, Michigan), Gregory Rousseau (DE, Miami), Jaelan Phillips (DE, Miami), Christian Darrisaw (OT, Virginia Tech), Alijah Vera-Tucker (OL, USC), and Rashawn Slater (OT, Northwestern).
All of those men fit the “positional need” for the team because both the offensive and defense trenches need some help.
