The Vikings saw two big contributors at cornerback depart last offseason for the Bengals.
This offseason, Bleacher Report thinks a former Cincinnati corner should sign with Minnesota. The outlet listed an ideal free agent target for each NFL team. The pick for the Vikings was CB William Jackson III. Here’s what Kristopher Knox of B/R wrote:
“Jackson is, however, a fine young cover corner. The 28-year-old has never quite played at a Pro Bowl level, but he did allow an opposing quarterback rating of just 88.2 this past season. He has 48 games of starting experience and should have an early impact on Minnesota’s defense.
This is important because the Vikings need help in the secondary.”
I think adding an older player in the cornerback corps would be a good idea. Jackson’s 71.4 PFF grade in 2020 was better than both Dantzler and Gladney. If Minnesota can figure out its cap situation to make it work, I wouldn’t mind the addition.
