Vikings Draft Profile: Rashod Bateman, WR, Minnesota

The Minnesota Vikings made a splash last offseason when they gave their franchise quarterback Kirk Cousins a contract extension. They then traded a seemingly unhappy Stefon Diggs to the Buffalo Bills in exchange for a first round pick. That first round pick turned into the best rookie wide receiver the Vikings have had since Randy Moss, Justin Jefferson.

One would think that this would have solved the Vikings wide receiver room, and it has done wonders for it, but Minnesota still seems to be in need of a solid third wide receiver. In a day and age where the top teams have at least three, if not four or five, great pass catching options, the Vikings have two real threats, an up and coming tight end (or perhaps two according to Josh Frey), and a screen catching running back.
