The Minnesota Vikings are in an interesting situation heading into the draft. Unlike previous years where there was a clear and obvious need that stood above all others, There are several position groups that the Vikings could reasonably use a first-round pick on. Some people want a quarterback, others want a wide receiver, but a lot of the fanbase thinks it’s in the team’s best interest to draft a cornerback in the first round.
It’s easy to understand the rationale. Despite Patrick Peterson and Duke Shelley playing well individually, the unit as a whole struggled mightily.
