Next Tuesday, April 18, will be the 25th anniversary of my favorite draft as Vikings GM when we selected Randy Moss at No. 21 in the first round after he fell from a top-five talent due to character concerns. I’m going to tell the story of how that draft unfolded next week, but I’m reminded of Moss’ draft process as I follow the self-inflicted difficulties of Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter during the current pre-draft period.
Many NFL GMs and scouts consider Carter the most talented player in the draft, which is now two weeks away.
