It became extremely clear over the past season that the Minnesota Vikings are in desperate need of some wide receiver depth.

Yes, the Minnesota Vikings currently have one of the best wide receiving duos in the NFL. But behind them, lets be honest, it gets pretty bare, pretty quick.

As of now, the Vikings have Stefon Diggs, Adam Thielen, Laquon Treadwell, Chad Beebe, Brandon Zylstra, and Jeff Badet. That’s it.

So as one can see, it won’t be a huge surprise to hear a wide receiver’s name called come draft day this year. Luckily for Minnesota, this draft is littered with mid-round guys that could bring serious value early on in their careers.

So while we will see some big names like D.K. Metcalf, Hakeem Butler, and Marquise Brown come off the board early, look for the Vikings to wait it out until the mid-rounds to find a possible gem.

Who are five potential wide receivers Minnesota could have their eye on come draft weekend this April?
