This week’s Senior Bowl festivities afford Vikings fans an opportunity to become initially acquainted with men who will soon be objects of infatuation for draft wonks.

It’s a fair certainty that when the Minnesota Vikings hit the clock in the 2016 draft they will first look to address the offense, probably the line or wide receiver.

It stands to reason then that when Viking fans take an initial look at the long list of prospects available in this year’s draft, their attention will naturally gravitate toward wide-outs and big uglies.

Put another way, get yourself ready for lots and lots of discussion/debate/arguing about offensive tackles and wide receivers.

Of the players participating in this week’s Senior Bowl, I picked out these five for an introductory looking-over. We’ll learn a lot more about these players as the process unfolds, and some of what we learn may even be of value.
