The Minnesota Vikings need to be realistic with Justin Jefferson in 2020

Back when the Minnesota Vikings shocked the football world by trading away star wide receiver Stefon Diggs, it sent fans into a panic. Yes, the Vikings acquired a lot back by trading him away but at the same token, a proven playmaker is now playing on another team. It was a tough pill to swallow at the time but by now, everyone has hopefully moved on.

With their first of two picks in Round 1 of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Vikings drafted wide receiver Justin Jefferson out of LSU to be an immediate replacement for Diggs.
