Well, Well, Well. The Vikings Probably Need One More CB.
Image Courtesy of ZoneCoverage.comThe everlasting joke about Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer insinuates that he solely cares about cornerbacks. The comedy exists for good reason — the Vikings have drafted four cornerbacks with 2nd Round or higher draft capital since Zimmer took over the organization. Those men are Trae Waynes, Mackensie Alexander, Mike Hughes, and Jeff Gladney.
In the same timeframe, the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions have taken four cornerbacks combined in the 2nd Round or higher, so there is some merit to the Zimmer stereotype (although, the Green Bay Packers have taken five cornerbacks since 2014 — and nobody cares).
