These mock drafts have been a really fun exercise in trying to figure out what options the Vikings have in April. This one is going to focus on two elements: a realistic trade down in gaining a second-round pick and fortifying the edge group.
Fortifying edge is an interesting proposition. The Vikings just restructured Danielle Hunter and signed Za’Darius Smith, but from a long-term perspective, there are still question marks. Answering those questions in a deep edge class with two of the best to learn from should be considered a high and likely priority.
