NBC Sports Edge mock draft sends Vikings electric wide receiver

The Minnesota Vikings have been mocked 50 different players so far. That’s an astounding number and it shows how deep this draft is from about pick 20 to pick 60. Wide reciever and become increasingly popular for the Vikings and it is continuing this week.

NBC Sports Edge’s Kyle Dvorchak is of the same mindset as his mock draft has the Vikings selecting Boston College WR Zay Flowers.

After cutting Adam Thielen, the Vikings are set to start K.J. Osborn as their second wideout and …Jalen Reagor at WR3. They would add a free agent if they left the first day of the draft without a receiver, but I doubt they want to go down that road. Flowers will take over slot duties and plays with enough physical to move outside when necessary.

The idea of Flowers is explained well by Dvorchak here. He’s best in the slot, but has the ability to win everywhere. Getting a player like that for this offense would be a fantastic outcome for the Vikings.
