It hasn’t even been two weeks since the Vikings picked three players in the first-round of the NFL Draft, but there are already mock drafts floating around the internet for 2014.
The “big” mock draft that exists is from Sports Illustrated. In it, SI writer Chris Burke has the Vikings taking Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel with the No. 18 pick.
“Manziel’s a tough one to peg. He doesn’t have great size or an elite arm, and his live-it-up lifestyle might scare some teams away. And yet, if he dominates the SEC for a second straight year, it would be tough to drop him very far. And Minnesota, barring a Christian Ponder breakthrough, could be ready for another change at QB.”
Meanwhile, Peter King of Sports Illustrated loved the way Vikings general manager Rick Spielman got aggressive and took Sharrif Floyd, Xavier Rhodes and Cordarrelle Patterson in the first-round.
King writes “that if the Vikings hit on two of them, they will have had a great day.”
