Vikings final pick may not even play until 2021
Air Force long snapper Austin Cutting said the general plan is he would have to serve 24 months before being able to play in the NFL, so he doesn't sound like an NFL candidate for this year with #Vikings.

Well that's genius right there.
Tomasson’s on it like usual... B) Read the last paragraph below!
Pick No. 250: Air Force LS Austin Cutting
Cutting told Twin Cities media members that he is “thrilled” to be drafted by the Vikings and that it’s a dream come true to make it to the NFL. He did explain, however, that the Air Force has a “duty policy” in place.
“We have to serve 24 months before we can apply to have the remainder of our commitment served in the Reserve,” Cutting said. “That’s all I can really say about that; those are decisions made above my paygrade.”
Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman spoke with media members following the conclusion of the draft Saturday evening and confirmed that he is aware of the unique situation.

“Just so everybody understands, we’ve been in constant communication with the Air Force Academy,” Spielman said. “What I can tell you is I know Austin is very excited and obligated to serve his commitment. I know talking with the people at the Academy, we’re working through right now ways that he can serve his commitment but also be able to serve his capacity here as a football player. So that’s a work in progress. It’s something that we have discussed over the past week or so.”
