5 prospects who climbed the Vikings’ draft board after the Combine

Andre Dillard – OT (Florida)

Dillard’s solid combine followed an impressive week in Mobile, Alabama at the Senior Bowl and his stock is shooting up.

Like Bradbury, Dillard was a guy who very much stood out during positional drills. He was so smooth in his movements, he almost appeared to be floating over the turf.

He was quick out of his stance and he hit the pads with power. His workout testing was off the charts as well and he finished right at the top of almost every single drill.

Dillard was always seen as a mid to late first-round prospect and he solidified that status at the combine. He maybe even raised it into top 15 consideration. Any team that is in the market for an offensive tackle will have to consider Dillard after his impressive performance at the 2019 combine.

One of these teams will be the Minnesota Vikings. Dillard to the Vikings does carry a big caveat though as he is seen really only as a tackle in the NFL and a left tackle at that.

In order for Minnesota to actually take Dillard with the 18th pick, they’d have to be willing and feel comfortable with moving Riley Reiff to guard. If they are, Dillard could end up in purple as the team’s left tackle of the future.
