Walt's Mock Selection
From his 2021 NFL Mock Draft
Vikings: Buddy Johnson-ILB-Texas A&M

Charlie's Mock Selection
From his 2021 NFL Mock Draft
Vikings: James Wiggins-S-Cincinnati

The Vikings could use more safety competition.

Vikings: Noah Gray--Duke

The Vikings cut Kyle Rudolph, so they'll need to find another tight end.


Charlie's Mock Selection
From his 2021 NFL Mock Draft
Vikings: Paddy Fisher-LB-Northwestern

Minnesota has shown lots of interest in Fisher, and he could at least be a good backup and special teams contributor.
