Ever since the Vikings reportedly traded Stefon Diggs, there have been plenty of mock drafts predicting Baylor’s Denzel Mims goes to Minnesota on draft day.
That’s what CBS Sports thinks, too.
Mims went to the Vikings at No. 25 of the outlet’s mock draft. Before that, Minnesota drafted Utah cornerback Jaylon Johnson at pick No. 22 of the mock draft, which is interesting. Some mock drafts have Johnson going in the second round, but maybe his stock has risen recently, and you never know what’s actually going to happen on draft day.
CBS Sports said of Johnson: “I really like Johnson, and I think his physicality will appeal to the Vikings. He’s a corner with a bit of a strong safety mentality.”
He’d definitely be able to vie for a starting spot with Holton Hill and Mike Hughes.
The outlet said in regards to Mims that he “isn’t a finished product, so he’s not going to step in and replace Stefon Diggs. He does offer the big-play threat that Diggs had, and he has room to develop further.”
Hopefully, if Minnesota drafts a wide receiver that high, he can at least replace a lot of Diggs’ production.
