The Minnesota Vikings have an enormous need at cornerback thanks to an eventful offseason. Who are some prospects they can target in the 2020 NFL Draft?

When the 2019 NFL season came to an end, the Minnesota Vikings knew they were in for a wild ride this spring. They’ve since lost starting cornerbacks in Xavier Rhodes, Trae Waynes, and Mackensie Alexander via free agency and roster cuts.

Now, the Vikings have two first-round picks in the upcoming NFL Draft and they have a history of selecting cornerbacks early.

The 2020 NFL Draft is not expected to be much different from that perspective for Minnesota. With five picks in the first three rounds, the Vikings are very much in the market for young cornerbacks.

As it sits right now, Mike Hughes and Holton Hill are the starting cornerbacks for Minnesota next season. While these two have a bit of upside, they need more depth and talent around them.

Who are some cornerback prospects the Vikings may target in the 2020 NFL Draft to help replenish a once-dominant secondary?
