The Minnesota Vikings have some pretty big holes they need to fill in the 2019 NFL Draft. Here is a round three possibility for each of their most dire areas of need.

The Minnesota Vikings were able to fill some holes in free agency this year, but they lacked the cap room to fix them all.

The Vikings will now look to the NFL Draft to add talent on their offensive line, a wide receiver who can compete for the third spot, a running back who can back up Dalvin Cook, a penetrating defensive tackle, and a safety. A few of these positions are so thin Minnesota could end up addressing them more than once.

When it comes to the third round of the draft, it’s always a little dicey to predict who could still be on the board. Teams often reach for players who many expected to be picked later and that pushes some very good prospects down the board.

The Vikings will hope a player with a pretty high grade is on still available for them when they pick late on next Friday evening with the 81st overall pick.

Who are some of the prospects Minnesota could select that would fill one of their top needs this year?
