Who do the experts have the Minnesota Vikings taking at the #30 overall spot in the 2018 NFL Draft according to their most recent mock drafts?
Predicting how the NFL draft will play out is an absolute crapshoot. While earlier picks have some fewer guesses, teams picking later on like the Minnesota Vikings will have numerous things happen that will force them to change their strategies.
Still, it’s always interesting to see which players the experts will have available when the Vikings selection at #30 happens and which positions the team feels offers the most value or fills the biggest needs.
Interestingly enough, the March 3, 2018 roundup of NFL mock draft results show players at numerous positions and several players at the same position, meaning just about anyone could be in play when Minnesota is on the clock.
