Our friend Luke Easterling put together a three-round mock draft earlier this week.
Of course, the NFL season hasn’t ended yet, but the first round of the draft is starting to take shape, so we might as well speculate.
With the 24th pick, the Vikings take safety Xavier McKinney out of Alabama.
At this point in the draft process, it’s probably smarter to take a look at what position draft experts have the Vikings taking than the actual player.
The Vikings have their two starters at safety with Harrison Smith and Anthony Harris, but is an unrestricted free agent after the year.
Minnesota drafted Marcus Epps in the sixth-round of the 2019 NFL Draft, but released him last week to make room for Andrew Sendejo.
McKinney has 43 tackles, two sacks and an interception as a junior.
