A very early 2022 mock draft has the Minnesota Vikings using their first-round pick on current Ohio State wide receiver Chris Olave.

It’s now been a whole two years since Adam Thielen last finished a season for the Minnesota Vikings with more than 1,000 receiving yards. After going over 1,000 yards in both 2017 and 2018, Thielen has failed to surpass the 1,000-yard mark in each of the last two seasons.

He had an excuse for 2019 since he missed a handful of games due to injury for the first time in his career.
