With the NFL combine now in the rear-view mirror

and prospects being poked Alexander Mattison Minnesota Vikings Jerseys , prodded and interviewed — and their stock rising, falling or staying put — it’s time again to take a look at who prognosticators have the Minnesota Vikings taking in this year’s NFL draft.Since our last roundup, the NFL issued compensatory picks and the Vikings received one in the sixth round and two in the seventh.More Vikings coverageTop Tweets: Minnesota teams send best wishes to GophersVikings sign veteran guard KlineVikings agree to terms with kicker Dan BaileyVikings add RB depth, re-sign Ameer AbdullahFormer Vikings guard Easton agrees to four-year deal with SaintsWill things change even more between now and the draft, which takes place April 25-27? Of course, especially with free agency beginning March 13 and pro days yet to come. Some teams fill holes, others won’t. But with players moving up and down draft boardsBecause we want the latest information, for this purpose, we used only mocks which came out in the past few days, after the end of the combine. We鈥檒l continue to provide mock draft roundup updates sporadically leading up to the draft.Not surprisingly, an offensive lineman is a popular choice for Minnesota in the first round — but not unanimous. There’s also no consensus on which offensive lineman the Vikings might select, although one stands out more than others.Note: Some drafts do more than one round (the Vikings do not have a fifth-round pick). When including a mock we used last time, we’ve also added the previous prediction so you can see how things changed (or not).Here鈥檚 the second roundup of mock drafts from around the web:DraftTek (7 rounds): Round 1 — Christian Wilkins, DL, Clemson; Round 2 — Chris Lindstrom, G, Boston College; Round 3 — Terrill Hanks, OLB, New Mexico State; Round 4 — Terry McLaurin, WR, Ohio State; Round 6a — Ugo Amadi, S, Oregon; Round 6b — Paul Adams, OT, Missouri; Round 7a — Nate Harvey, DE/OLB, East Carolina; Round 7b — Donald Parham, TE, Stetson. Previously: Round 1 — Wilkins; Round 2 — Darryl Williams, OG, Mississippi State; Round 3 — Devin Singletary, RB, Florida Atlantic; Round 4 — Chase Hansen, OLB, Utah; Round 6 — Jakobi Meyers, WR, NC State. Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com: Devin Bush, LB, Michigan. Previously: Jonah Williams, OG, Alabama.17View Gallery Gallery:Minnesota Vikings 2019 impending free agents primerVinnie Iyer of the Sporting News: Jonah Williams, OT Minnesota Vikings Jerseys 2019 , Alabama. “The Vikings need offensive line help for the sakes of both Kirk Cousins and Dalvin Cook. Dillard being taken off the board earlier helps their cause. Williams is a strong pass protector who also is big enough (6-4, 302 pounds) to pave the way in the running game.” Previously: Greg Little, OT, Mississippi.John Clayton of the Washington Post: Greg Little, OT, Mississippi.Luke Easterling of The Draft Wire (4 rounds): Round 1 — Cody Ford, OL, Oklahoma; Round 2 — Dre’Mont Jones, DL, Ohio State; Round 3 — Terrill Hanks, LB, New Mexico State; Round 4 — Nate Davis, OL, Charlotte. Previously: Round 1 — Dalton Risner, OL, Kansas State; Round 2 — Jones; Round 3 — Kendall Joseph, LB, Clemson; Round 4 — Connor McGovern, OL, Penn State.Matt Miller of Bleacher Report: Round 1 — Cody Ford, OL, Oklahoma. “The Minnesota Vikings have to go into the 2019 offseason determined to improve the offensive line. With Oklahoma starting right tackle Cody Ford available at No. 18, he would be a no-brainer solution for general manager Rick Spielman.” Previously: Devin Bush, LB, MichiganWalter Cherepinsky of WalterFootball.com (5 rounds): Round 1 — Jonah Williams, OT, Alabama; Round 2 — Germaine Pratt, LB, NC State; Round 3 — L.J. Collier, DE, TCU; Round 4 — Gerald Willis, DT, Miami. Previously: Round 1 — Williams; Round 2 — Germaine Pratt, LB, NC State; Round 3 — Austin Bryant, DE, Clemson; Round 4 — Sean Bunting, CB, Central Michigan.Tom Fornelli of CBSSports.com: Cody Ford, OT, Oklahoma. “The Vikings desperately need to improve their talent on the line. Maybe Ford sticks at tackle, or perhaps he needs to kick inside to guard. Either way Alexander Mattison Jersey nfl draft , the Vikings can use him.”Doug Farrar of the Touchdown Wire: Greg Little, OT, Mississippi. “Whether or not the Vikings will ever get a reasonable return on the Kirk Cousins investment is a matter of some debate, but one thing鈥檚 for sure 鈥?it鈥檒l never happen if Cousins has to bail water behind the kind of offensive line he played behind in 2018. Little has the quickness and agility to improve Cousins鈥?blindside protection right away, and over time, he could develop into an estimable power blocker as well.”Dan Kadar of SB Nation: Clelin Ferrell, DE, Clemson. “With rumors swirling that the Vikings might move on from end Everson Griffen, a pass rusher could emerge as a big need for Minnesota. If Griffen is moved, this is the offseason to do it. Ferrell could go as high as the top 10, so at No. 18 he鈥檇 be a steal.” Previously: Dalton Risner, OL, Kansas State.Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times: Andre Dillard, OT, Washington State.Will Brinson of CBSSports.com: Cody Ford, OL, Oklahoma. “This is just going to be one of those teams who keep getting an offensive lineman every single mock until they figure out a way to get protection for Kirk Cousins.” Previously: Dexter Lawrence, DT, Clemson.Ryan Wilson of CBSSports.com: Garrett Bradbury, C, NC State. “Bradbury is another player who had a great week in Indy. He ran a 4.93 40 — he’s a center! — and he was already the best interior lineman in the class. The Vikings need to do a much better job protecting Kirk Cousins and that starts with Bradbury.” Previously: Dalton Risner, OT, Kansas State.Nate Davis of USA Today: Jawaan Taylor, OT, Florida.Bryan Fischer of Athlon Sports: Dexter Lawrence, DE, Clemson.Charlie Campbell of WalterFootball.com (4 rounds): Round 1 — Jonah Williams, OT, Alabama; Round 2 — D’Andre Walker, DE/OLB, Georgia; Round 3 –Isaiah Buggs, DT, Alabama; Round 4 –Jarrett Stidham, QB, Auburn. Previously (3 rounds): Round 1 — Williams; Round 2 — Jerry Tillery, DT, Notre Dame; Round 3 — Justice Hill, RB, Oklahoma State.Nicklaus Gray of the Tennessean: Andre Dillard, OT, Washington State.10View Gallery Gallery:Top Tweets: Minnesota athletes plow through latest snowstormBrad Rempel-USA TODAY Sports | Brad RempelZack Rosenblatt of NJ Advance Media (2 rounds): Round 1 — Christian Wilkins, DL Alexander Mattison Jersey Cheap , Clemson; Round 2 — Michael Jordan, OL, Ohio State. Previously (1 round): Andre Dillard, OT, Washington State.Alex Khvatov of NFL Draft Blitz: Cody Ford, G, Oklahoma.Forrest N. Long of The Huddle Report: Andre Dillard, OT, Washington State.Drew Boylhart of The Huddle Report: Brian Burns, DE/OLB, Florida State.Kyle Crabbs of The Draft Network (2 rounds): Round 1 — Eric McCoy, G, Texas A&M. “This feels like a surprising fit, given the fact that Garrett Bradbury is still on the board. But the general feel from those I spoke to here in Indianapolis is that the Vikings really like Pat Elflein at center and would like to try to keep him there. That reduces Bradbury’s value to the Vikings and McCoy is a better outside zone fit than Boston College’s Chris Lindstrom.”; Round 2 — Jeffrey Simmons, DT, Mississippi State.Nick Klopsis of Newsday: Cody Ford, OL, Oklahoma. Previously: Ford.Aaron Kasinitz, Daniel Gallen and Jacob Klinger of PennLive.com: Devin Bush, LB, Michigan.Don Banks of Patriots.com: Cody Ford, OL, Oklahoma. “Getting more out of Kirk Cousins will equate to a return to the playoffs. That seems to be the mindset in Minnesota, and it requires better protection of the Vikings鈥?well-compensated quarterback. Ford is strong and powerful, but very athletic at 6-foot-4, 329 pounds. Whether he ends up at right tackle or right guards, the Vikings offensive line will be upgraded.”Final tally: Six different players were mentioned multiple times and for our second straight roundup Cody Ford led the way, this time seven predictions (last roundup it was six). Andre Dillard and Jonah Williams both had three mentions while Devin Bush, Greg Little and Christian Wilkins had two apiece. Dalton Risner, who was predicted five times in our first roundup, was shut out this time around.Dave Heller is the author of Ken Williams: A Slugger in Ruth’s Shadow (a Larry Ritter Book Award nominee), Facing Ted Williams – Players From the Golden Age of Baseball Recall the Greatest Hitter Who Ever Lived and As Good As It Got: The 1944 St. Louis Browns Another defensive back for Mike Zimmer to develop" Minnesota Vikings 2019 NFL Draft2019 NFL Draft Results: Minnesota Vikings select Kris BoydNew,8commentsAnother defensive back for Mike Zimmer to developCDTWith the first of their (projected) four seventh-round picks in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings have added another defensive back to the roster.Kris BoydMichael C.
