Vikings Wednesday NFL mock draft roundup

After the NFL Scouting Combine, we have a lot more information on the prospects in the 2023 draft class. Even though the dataset isn’t quite complete, it gives us a better idea of where prospects will go.

With free agency set to begin, we will see some changes with these mock drafts when players start signing with new teams and modifying team needs.

On Wednesday, there were a lot of mock drafts that dropped and we are here to catch you up on all of them.

Who: USC WR Jordan Addison

The Vikings are running to the podium right now. Addison is the perfect complement to Justin Jefferson and can provide the Vikings with a great tandem at wide receiver for the next decade. Addison is a smooth route runner and has insane short-area quickness. He’s not a burner by any means, but he can come in and help keep the offense moving. This is a home run pick for the Vikings.-Matt Anderson

Who: Clemson DT Bryan Bresee

A little rich for my blood to take Bresee here. He has an injury history and doesn’t “wow” me as much as he should considering his elite physical tools. Easy to see a team desperate for defensive help like the Vikings fall in love with him, however. Bresee seems like a great dude and could be a big get for Minnesota here if he’s more consistent in the pros.-Matt Fitzgerald

Who: Alabama CB Brian Branch

The Vikings are in need of a safety and Brian Branch (scouting report) makes a lot of sense. Branch has ball production, solid size and speed.-The 33rd Team

Who: Georgia CB Kelee Ringo

New defensive coordinator Brian Flores is going to seek defenders, yet if WR Adam Thielen is a salary cap causality things will get interesting. The Vikings have talent on offense but need more help on defense.-Calvin Watkins

Who: Ohio State WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba

The Vikings may be better served with a true outside receiver to match with Justin Jefferson. But Smith-Njigba was the best receiver on the board by far and more than talented enough to warrant this selection.

Smith-Njigba impressed in Indianapolis. His smooth yet explosive style was on full display during athletic testing and route-running drills. The 6’1″, 196-pound target still lacks the top-end speed of a true game-breaker, but he’s got everything else you want from a wide receiver prospect.-Derrik Klassen

Fantasy Pros' John Supowitz

Jordan Prather-USA TODAY Sports

Who: Georgia CB Kelee Ringo

Ringo put up some stellar numbers at the Combine, including a 4.36 40-time. That was good enough for fifth amongst cornerbacks, but what’s impressive is that he did it at 207 pounds.

He showed off fluid hip motion during the splits, and he’s a guy you can line up on the outside but also has the size to guard a tight end or larger slot receiver.-John Supowitz

CBS Sports' Kyle Stackpole

Who: TCU WR Quentin Johnston

The Vikings need a running mate for Justin Jefferson, and Quentin Johnston, thanks to his elite physical attributes, can be that player.-Kyle Stackpole

PFF's NFL Stock Exchange

Winslow Townson-USA TODAY Sports

Link

Who: Clemson EDGE Myles Murphy

The Vikings could have questions on the edge, and Murphy can really kick along any alignment on the defensive line. … He’s a freak in terms of his athleticism and size and movement, and the Vikings need help in that front seven.-Connor Rogers

NFL.com's Lance Zierlein

Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports

Link

Who: Georgia Tech DL Keion White

White needs more game polish, but he’s big, strong and athletic. If his NFL team can continue to develop his traits at defensive end, White has a high ceiling.-Lance Zierlein
