Binjimen Victor – WR (Ohio State)

The Vikings will be looking to flesh out their wide receiving corps in the 2020 NFL Draft. They are heavy at the top with Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs. Bisi Johnson appears to be the No. 3 receiver of the future, but after that things are extremely questionable.

There is no guarantee Chad Beebe, Laquon Treadwell, or Alexander Hollins will be on the team next season. It’s very possible that two new faces will round out the depth chart for Minnesota in 2020.

With the Vikings still lacking room under the salary cap, the chances these two new faces are rookies is very likely. So they’ll do their due diligence on all the pass catchers at the East-West Shrine Bowl and Binjimen Victor should be near the top of their list.

Victor would bring some height to Minnesota’s wide receiving corps. He’s 6-foot-4, but just 199 pounds so he’s got a slender build with some lanky arms and legs. He’s not a burner by any means, but he has a knack for finding open holes in zones and settling in them.

Victor would be a nice weapon in the red zone with his height and his ability to go up and snag a ball at its highest point. He should also be ready to contribute early in his career as he played in a ton of games at Ohio State against some very good competition.

Victor is probably a guy who gets drafted early on Day 3. There is plenty to like about him with his size, experience, and ball skills.
