This offseason has been a series of tradeoffs for the Minnesota Vikings as the team has had to balance the needs of the roster with very little salary cap space. This means the 2023 NFL draft is going to be vital to improving the roster with limited resources.
The Vikings really need to focus hard on improving the defense and that’s exactly the direction we go in his mock draft. In the first two rounds the Vikings land a starting cornerback and inside linebacker, both of which are going to add vital playmakers on that side of the football.
Minnesota also gets an underrated wide receiver in Jonathan Mingo as well as two quality defensive linemen. Let us know in the comments what you think of this mock draft for the Vikings.
First round - CB Deonte Banks, Maryland
Third round - LB Daiyan Henley, Washington State
Fourth round - WR Jonathan Mingo, Ole Miss
Fifth round - DT Moro Ojomo, Texas
Sixth round - DE Nick Herbig, Wisconsin
