2022 NFL Mock Draft: Vikings pick up a cornerback

In an aging, milquetoast NFC, the Minnesota Vikings proudly boast a floor of mediocrity.

Because while they did ultimately rip off the Zimmer-Spielman band-aid this past season, the reality is this team has only been able to go as far as Kirk Cousins can take them, which has been 2nd place in the NFC North.

This is to say that drafting for the Vikings is a bit of a conundrum, because despite the sub-.500 record the past couple of years, this team has Pro Bowl-caliber talent across the roster: Justin Jefferson, Dalvin Cook, Adam Thielan, Harrison Smith, Danielle Hunter, Za’darius Smith, etc.
