With the offensive line being a need for the Vikings, the team could very well take one off the board at No. 25.
That’s Bleacher Report’s thinking. Minnesota drafted Houston offensive tackle Josh Jones in a post-combine mock draft done by Bleacher Report.
Here is some of what they said about the pick:
“You could pick many positions for the Minnesota Vikings’ selection at No. 25 overall and not go wrong. Quarterback of the future, cornerback, defensive tackle and the always-popular offensive line pick all make sense. In this mock draft, based on player and positional value, left tackle Josh Jones gets the call.”
I like the choice of Jones and I think all of the Vikings’ positional needs Bleacher Report mentioned are true. Though it’s possible Riley Reiff returns, he could be a cap casualty, and that means there is an opening at tackle. Based on all the needs this team has, it should try to prioritize offensive tackle or corner depending on what happens with cuts and free agency.
