Xavier Rhodes dropped off in terms of performance this season.
The 29-year-old corner had no interceptions and just six pass deflections this season. It would make sense to add depth to corner, especially considering Trae Waynes and Mackensie Alexander are both set to become free agents. This could lead to a lack of depth for a position group that is already viewed as somewhat of a disappointment.
I think the Vikings should try to re-sign Alexander, but other than that, it might be a good idea for a fresh start at cornerback.
Mike Hughes showed he could be good at times last season. If he was paired up with a rookie who fit the system well, then the defense wouldn’t drop off too much.
Trevon Diggs could very well be that rookie. He’s a big corner and he’s Stefon Diggs’ brother, so maybe making a move for him leads to the wide receiver wanting to stay in Minnesota. And Stefon has been acting suspicious on social media lately. This is a necessary position to add depth to unless Minnesota ends up keeping a bunch of players who seem likely to walk. Why not go for it in the first round?
Possible options: Alabama’s Trevon Diggs, Ohio State’s Jeff Okudah
