If the Minnesota Vikings could go back and re-do their 2021 NFL Draft knowing what they know after one year, would they make different choices?
The 2021 NFL season is officially over as a new champion has been crowned. With the season officially in the books, it’s time for the Minnesota Vikings and every other team to begin preparations for the 2022 season, and it’s also a time to reflect on the games, plays, and moves of the previous year.
There are plenty of signings and decisions that can be second-guessed, and one aspect that definitely gets revisited is the NFL Draft. Teams now know how these players adjusted to the NFL and saw how quickly or not so quickly they were able to make an impact.
If the Vikings could hop in a Delorean and go back to last April with the information they now know, some choices would definitely be different. Today, we will go back to the past and go over every pick of Minnesota’s 2021 Draft, to see if we would stick with the original choice or go in a different direction.
Some rules to layout, we are going with where the Vikings actually picked, not their original draft slot. Also, any replacement players must be available at the time of the original selection. Here is Minnesota’s 2021 redraft.
