The Minnesota Vikings are in search of a wide receiver to complement Justin Jefferson. Fortunately, they are in a good draft position to acquire one in the upcoming NFL Draft.
In Joe Broback’s recent mock draft on Pro Football Network, he predicts that the Vikings will choose promising USC wide receiver Jordan Addison.
With Adam Thielen off to Carolina, Minnesota needs someone to help Justin Jefferson. K.J. Osborn returns, but there needs to be another weapon to contribute. Jordan Addison gives the Vikings a player that can create separation like the best of them.
If he demands more attention from the opposing secondary, teams will be less likely to send extra help toward Jefferson. That also makes quarterback Kirk Cousins happy in the “prove it” year of his contract.
Addison has remarkable skills as a receiver. He runs his routes with precision and possesses an impressive ability to run after the catch. He also utilizes his short-area quickness to gain separation from opposing defenders.
By pairing Addison with Jefferson, the Vikings’ offense could see an immediate upgrade. Addison’s strength in exploiting matchups, coupled with Jefferson’s ability to attract double teams, could prove to be a dynamic combination on the field.
