5 offensive guards the Vikings could select in the 2019 NFL Draft

While the guard position might not be the sexiest of NFL Draft picks, it has proven to be one of the most important, and just so happens to be a huge need for the Minnesota Vikings.

One thing became very clear last year; if the Minnesota Vikings plan to return to the playoffs in 2019, the guard position will need to be upgraded.

While the Vikings made a few signings at guard this offseason in Josh Kline and Dakota Dozier, they still have a long way to go before they can feel comfortable with the position. It is no secret that Minnesota will be looking to bolster the offensive line at both offensive tackle and guard at this year’s NFL Draft.

If the 2019 season were to begin today, the Vikings’ starting guards would most likely be Kline and Danny Isidora. So while Kline will most likely hold on to a starting spot regardless of what will happen in the draft this year, Minnesota will be looking to upgrade on the other side of the line.

This year’s draft pool has a pretty solid group of guards that will be available in the first few rounds. Barring a crazy run on guards in the early in the draft, it is realistic to think that the Vikings could add an immediate upgrade and starter at some point during the first three rounds.

So of the guards that will be available during the 2019 NFL Draft, which five will Minnesota likely have their eyes on?
