It’s been two weeks since we’ve checked in on the status of Minnesota Vikings mock drafts around the internet.  While not a lot has changed since then, many other media outlets have since released their first offering of predictions for the 2015 NFL Draft.  This gives us another opportunity to see who some of the experts and not-so-experts think would be best for the Vikings to select.

So, here it is.  This is the early February Minnesota Vikings mock draft recap from around the web.  The sites are organized by player selected rather than alphabetically by site or order of preference to highlight the number of times each player was forecasted to land with the Vikings.

Let’s get started:
