Vikings drafting a WR in the first round reportedly not a priority in 2020

In a move that ultimately felt inevitable, the Minnesota Vikings made the decision to trade star wide receiver Stefon Diggs to the Buffalo Bills last month.

With the trade, the Vikings immediately created a hole in their receiver depth chart for next season. Minnesota still has Adam Thielen on the roster, but the talent level takes a dramatic decrease when looking at the rest of the pass-catchers the team currently has to choose from.

Without a ton of money to spend, the Vikings didn’t really have the option to replace Diggs with one of the top free-agent receivers this year.
