Our friend Luke Easterling put together his first seven-round mock draft of 2019 earlier this week.
It’s a fun exercise and even though it’s more than two months before the draft, it’s good research as a fan to see what positions your team might be interested in, and then after, what players play those said positions.
Here’s a look at how the draft ended up going for the Vikings:
1st round (pick No. 18) – T, Dalton Risner, Kansas State
2nd round (pick No. 50) – DL, Gerald Willis III, Miami
3rd round (pick No. 81) – S, Amani Hooker, Iowa
4th round (pick No. 113) – LB, Terrill Hanks, New Mexico State
6th round (pick No. 176) – TE, C.J. Conrad, Kentucky
This doesn’t account for the three compensatory picks the Vikings will receive.
I don’t disagree with the picks. Offensive line and safety are big needs, and defensive line, linebacker and tight end could be depending on what the Vikings do this offseason.
What are your thoughts?
