The Minnesota Vikings are in need of cornerback depth for next season, as they only have three players currently under contract. Many expect the Vikings to address this need in free agency, but they could also look in the first round of the NFL Draft.
On Tuesday Pro Football Network’s Ben Rolfe released a mock draft that had the Vikings selecting Oregon cornerback Christian Gonzalez.
“The Minnesota Vikings desperately need to address their defense in a number of ways this offseason. Regardless of how they approach the CB position in free agency, there will always be the need to add more talent. Gonzalez definitely brings that talent and has a chance to be a starter immediately for a Vikings defense that needs immediate help.”
Many think Gonzalez is one of the best cornerbacks in this draft class, so if he were to fall to the Vikings in the late first round, it would be a steal and an immediate upgrade at the position. This is one that fans should be excited about.
