As NFL free agency cools off a bit for the Minnesota Vikings and the rest of the league’s teams, attention can rightfully return to mock drafts in preparation for April.
The NFL draft will transpire in five weeks.
The Vikings own the 14th overall pick, but it is quite likely that general manager Rick Spielman will trade back from that spot to obtain a 2nd-Round commodity. Minnesota coughed away its 2021 2nd-Round pick to Jacksonville Jaguars during a curious trade for EDGE rusher Yannick Ngakoue last summer. Head coach Mike Zimmer utilized Ngakoue’s services for seven weeks and then shipped the ex-Jaguar to Baltimore for a clawback 2021 3rd-Round pick.
