Ok, it’s early and it’s hard to say what the Vikings will need for the 2021 NFL Draft.
But Bleacher Report tried to take a guess anyway. Have you heard this one before? Minnesota drafted a cornerback in the first round of the mock draft.
In Bleacher Report’s way-too-early 2021 mock draft, Minnesota took Stanford CB Paulson Adebo at pick No. 22.
Adebo was the fifth cornerback off the board in Bleacher Report’s mock. He was an All-Pac-12 first-team selection by the coaches, despite suffering a season-ending injury in 2019.
He played in nine games, but had four interceptions and 14 pass deflections. If the Vikings feel like corner is a position they have to shore up once again, I would personally be fine with picking Adebo at No. 22 overall.
However, players like Mike Hughes, Holton Hill, Jeff Gladney, Cameron Danztler and others have a chance to step up and become one of the better corners on a defense that is already pretty good. We’re going to have to see what happens in 2021.
