With Anthony Harris possibly on the move, it might be time for the Vikings to find a safety in the first round of the draft. Personally, I don’t think this is the best move, due to the positional needs elsewhere, but a case can be made that missing Harris would be detrimental to the Vikings’ defense to the point where going for a safety in the first round makes sense.
Unfortunately, this isn’t a position with a plethora of first-round caliber talent this season. However, if Grant Delpit is available, Minnesota could try and take him. Delpit is athletic and helped anchor a good LSU defense, but his stats won’t jump out at you. He had two interceptions and seven pass deflections. However, the year before that he had five interceptions, so he’s capable of being a ball hawk.
Possible Options: LSU’s Grant Delpit, Alabama’s Xavier McKinney, California’s Ashtyn Davis (wait to get him later in the draft)
