Vikings 2022 Draft: 5-round post-Super Bowl mock draft

Fifth-Round Pick:

Jojo Domann, LB – Nebraska

Make no doubt about it, the Minnesota Vikings still need to acquire a lot of talent on defense. Since they already grabbed a pass rusher and a corner in the draft while taking care of their biggest offense need, a linebacker makes a lot of sense in Round 5.

At this time, it isn’t known if the Vikings are staying in a 4-3 defense or transitioning to a 3-4 front. No matter what the choice is, Jojo Dobmann could be an interesting option at middle linebacker next to Eric Kendricks or could focus on run support around the edges.

Domann’s final season at Nebraska ended abruptly when surgery was needed to repair a ruptured tendon in a finger on his left hand. Before that injury, he played in 43 games for the Cornhuskers and racked up 208 total tackles (132 solo), 26.5 tackles for a loss including 5.5 sacks, had 15 passes defended, three interceptions, and three fumble recoveries.

Retooling the defense is a much bigger challenge for the team than improving the offense. Having Domann learn from Eric Kendricks while gaming experience would be a huge gain and with how low the Nebraska defender is on many prospect lists, he could be a massive bargain.
