The curious reader won’t have to look too far to find hype surrounding Vikings rookie Jordan Addison. Minnesota had a shot at snagging a top-notch corner at 23rd overall but instead opted for the WR, a surefire indication that they think highly of him.
The next opportunity to draft someone, though, resulted in the Vikings welcoming a talented corner. Mekhi Blackmon — who was teammates with Addison at USC — has quietly risen up the depth chart. Byron Murphy is the locked-in CB1 while Akayleb Evans is the CB2, but there’s an opening for that third spot.
