With draft day upon us, the Minnesota Vikings have been tightly linked to multiple exciting prospects. On the offensive side it has been mostly quarterbacks and wide receivers, but what if the Vikings add a playmaker from an unconventional place, especially for today’s NFL?
Taking a running back in the first round is not often seen as a wise choice. The Minnesota Vikings have now employed Dalvin Cook for years, and gotten a high level of production from him, but even he slipped into the second round.
Obviously, the Vikings went all in when selecting Adrian Peterson 7th overall out of Oklahoma in the 2007 draft, but that was a different time, and players like that don’t come around often.
