If one were to ask the average fan of the Minnesota Vikings what the team should do with their first pick in this year’s NFL Draft, the majority would likely suggest that they select an offensive lineman no matter what.
But reaching for a new blocker just to get one in the first round is not something the Vikings should be doing this year if that ends up being the case. It will be just fine If Minnesota doesn’t want to overdraft an offensive lineman and ends filling another need with their first selection instead.
This is a scenario that kind of plays out during a recent three-round 2019 NFL mock draft posted by NFL.
