Minnesota might have to move on from Anthony Harris in free agency, and it seems like Jayron Kearse doesn’t want to come back to the team.
So the Vikings may need a safety. In that case, Xavier McKinney seems like a good fit.
CBS Sports picked the Vikings to draft McKinney in the first round of a recent mock draft.
Here’s what the outlet said about the pick:
“If Anthony Harris leaves in free agency, then McKinney can fill the void. Regardless, I like him in a role where he can play a variety of positions and be allowed to operate freely in the secondary.”
Personally, I think the choice of McKinney probably won’t happen regardless of the fit and his caliber as a player. Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said safety isn’t the most important position on his defense, so I doubt the team will take a safety with its first-round choice this season.
