It’s no secret that the Vikings will need some help at cornerback in 2020. There’s a pretty good chance they could be without Xavier Rhodes, Trae Waynes and Mackensie Alexander.
That’s why it’s not much of a surprise that in Chad Reuter’s latest mock draft over at NFL.com, Reuter has the Vikings taking a cornerback in the first round. And not just any cornerback. Alabama’s Trevon Diggs, the brother of Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
Here’s what Reuter wrote about the pick:
The Vikings’ secondary is due for a reboot this spring. Diggs gets to take on his brother, Stefon, in practice on a daily basis, which will be good prep for taking on the rest of the league’s top wideouts.
Diggs played four seasons at Alabama. As a senior, he finished with 37 tackles and three interceptions. He accounted for two defensive touchdowns. In 2019, he was named First Team All-SEC.
If the Vikings were to make this move, it would certainly be a fun one and would certainly be convenient for the Diggs familiy.
