Minnesota Vikings Draft 2019: Pre-combine big board – Top 10
By Matt Falk
3. Devin White – LB (LSU)
With the uncertainty of Anthony Barr returning for 2019, the Vikings will have their eyes peeled for a linebacker in the early rounds of the draft this year. If White happens to be be on the board at pick No. 18, he might force Minnesota’s hand.
He has the making to possibly be one of the best in the NFL early in his career. The big question will be if the Vikings feel White is good enough to put their offensive line needs on hold for another round.
Chance he’s still available at No. 18: 45 percent
How big of a Vikings need?: High
2. Cody Ford – G/OT (Oklahoma)
Ford was very close to being second on this board. While he still has some fine tuning to do on his technique, he likely has the most upside when looking at long term solutions. Ford would probably start out as a guard for the Vikings in 2019 and help get their offensive line in order.
Chance he’s still available at No. 18: 45 percent

1. Jonah Williams – OT (Alabama)
Williams is the most NFL ready of any offensive lineman in the 2019 draft class. He can step in on day one and play for any team around the league as a starter.
Williams could actually be a guy that forces the Vikings to either move Riley Reiff inside to guard or possibly letting him go if they can’t find a role for him. Realistically, Williams would likely start on the inside for Minnesota and then possibly kick out to tackle later on in the future.
Chance he’s still available at No. 18: 35 percent
