If Vikings could do it again, who would they take in 2012 NFL draft?

With the fourth pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Vikings took tackle Matt Kalil.

While Kalil made a Pro Bowl in his rookie season, it was all downhill after that and many Vikings fans were happy when he left to sign with the Panthers in 2017 (Kalil hasn’t appeared in a game since).

If the Vikings could do it all over again in 2012, who would they draft?

Gil Brandt from NFL.com did a draft do-over and has the Vikings taking another tackle, Riley Reiff, with the fourth pick. Ironically, Reiff is currently a member of the Vikings.

Reiff has never made a Pro Bowl, but he’s been a solid player in this league for a long time, and is dependable as well. In eight seasons, he’s missed just eight games to injury. He’s been with the Vikings since 2017 after signing as a free agent.

Spoiler alert if you check out the article (which you should): running back Trent Richardson doesn’t go third overall.
