Draft a receiver

This seems like the most probable option for the Vikings this offseason in their efforts to replace Stefon Diggs on their roster. Drafting a receiver would be cheap and it’s something that arguably has the most upside compared to the other paths Minnesota has to choose from.

With multiple first-round selections and five picks in the first three rounds this year, the Vikings have a variety of different routes they could take in the draft when it comes to adding a young receiver.

Should Minnesota go after some of the prospects with the highest potential in the first round or should they hold off until the second or third round to use a pick on a new pass-catcher considering this year’s group of receiving prospects are being touted as one of the deepest position groups in the draft?

If there is a young receiver they really like, Minnesota could even package both of their first-round picks together to move up and land someone like Jerry Jeudy or Henry Ruggs III.

These are all things the Vikings will have to figure out during the next few months. Yes, Minnesota got a good return for a guy who didn’t want to play for them anymore. But their decision to trade him has also left the team with another hole to fill this year.
