It’s no secret that the Vikings need some help on their offensive line heading into 2021.
In Cynthia Frelund’s latest mock draft over at NFL.com, she does it based strictly on analytics that will help teams now.
With the 14th pick, Frelund has the Vikings drafting USC guard Alijah Vera-Tucker.
Here’s what Frelund wrote about the pick:
I project Vera-Tucker at guard, though he has experience at USC at both that position and tackle. His ability to stay low in his stance through contact helps project him as a very reliable (that is, possessing a high projected floor) in both passing and rushing situations, as well as in play-action, which is extremely helpful for the Vikings’ scheme.
If there’s been a knock on Vikings GM Rick Spielman it’s been that he hasn’t been able to find top talent on the offensive line. Maybe that change with the 2021 draft.
