Excerpt:
Norris’ Mock Draft
Round 1 (30): G Will Hernandez, UTEP - The Vikings’ roster is awesome, and Hernandez would only make it better, He’s a true mauler up the middle to pair with Nick Easton and Pat Elflein. And despite weighing something like 340 pounds at the Senior Bowl he still moved easily.
Round 2 (62): EDGE/LB Uchenna Nwosu, USC - The Vikings brought Nwosu in for a visit. Mike Zimmer has a history of linebackers who can also rush the passer. That is Nwosu, and somewhat solves two needs at once. Perhaps he will specialize down the road.
Round 3 (94): CB Duke Dawson, Florida - This draft has a handful of slot corners. Dawson might ultimately be the best. He’s a hammer, not a nail, and that mentality is right up Zimmer’s alley.
Round 5 (167): DL PJ Hall, Sam Houston State - Another prospect who visited the Vikings. Hall made a bit of noise during Shrine week and followed it up with an outstanding pro day workout. I wonder if the team will see Sharrif Floyd, albeit from a much smaller program.
Round 6 (204): WR Jordan Lasley, UCLA - Yes, more visits. The Vikings might get a steal in Lasley talent-wise if they are cool with his multiple suspensions in college (I believe they were alcohol-related).
Round 6 (213): RB Martez Carter, Grambling - The Vikings brought in Nyheim Hines for a visit, leading me to think they might want an “air” back to fill the void of Jerick McKinnon. Carter isn’t Tarik Cohen, but he strives to have the same game.
Round 6 (218): TE DeAndre Goolsby, Florida - A move tight end who appeared to be a comfortable receiver. He is the yin to David Morgan’s yang.
Round 7 (225): S Trey Marshall, Florida State – Hard-hitting safety.
