For those of you that have been following the 2018 SB Nation Writer Mock Draft, you saw that our pick went off the board earlier this morning. It wasn’t a player at the one spot that the Vikings have the greatest need at, but there’s a reason for that.
With the way the board fell, I wound up selecting Iowa cornerback Josh Jackson for the Minnesota Vikings. While cornerback is a need for the Vikings, we know that it isn’t the absolutely screaming need that the offensive line is. However, with the way that the board had fallen to that point, I didn’t think Jackson could be passed up.
