Vikings draft Temple CB Harrison Hand at No. 169

The Vikings saw three cornerbacks leave this offseason, and so far the team has drafted three cornerbacks in the NFL draft.

Vikings most recent corner taken was Temple’s Harrison Hand at No. 169, a fifth-round pick. Hand will add depth to a position group that saw Xavier Rhodes, Trae Waynes and Mackensie Alexander sign elsewhere in the offseason. Rhodes and Waynes were the starters out wide and Alexander was the nickel corner in 2019.

Hand tallied 59 tackles in his final collegiate season for Temple. He also had three interceptions and five pass breakups in 2019.

Minnesota started the draft by taking LSU wide receiver Justin Jefferson and TCU cornerback Jeff Gladney in the first round. The Vikings then picked Boise State tackle Ezra Cleveland.

Minnesota went and took Mississippi State corner Cameron Dantzler, Baylor defensive tackle James Lynch, and Oregon linebacker Troy Dye in the draft before this pick. Hopefully some of those players can become big contributors for the team in 2020.
