Who are the top 10 prospects for the Minnesota Vikings to target come draft day in 2019 based off of need and availability?
This Minnesota Vikings big board is made up of a mix of needs and players that have a legit shot at still being available when it comes time for the Vikings to make their pick at No. 18 in the 2019 NFL Draft. So don’t get to bent out of shape when you don’t see guys like Joey Bosa and Dwayne Haskins included.
We will look at prospects that can fill a need immediately for Minnesota and a few guys that might just be too good to pass on. Either way one thing is clear, the prospects listed below will make the Vikings better the second they are drafted.
10. Andre Dillard – OT (Washington State)
Dillard is at the bottom of the bunch for me when it comes to offensive lineman in the first round this year.
The biggest reason he is so low for me is that he probably won’t be ready to play as a rookie. So why would a team trying to get back to the playoffs next season draft a guy who might not be ready to play immediately?
This matters since Minnesota quarterback Kirk Cousins only has two years remaining on his current contract. Dillard still has a high ceiling, the Vikings just don’t have the time to wait for him to hit it.
Chance he’s still available at No. 18: 80 percent
How big of a Vikings need?: High
