4 Vikings who could be replaced in the 2023 NFL Draft

K.J. Osborn – WR

There are some who believe K.J. Osborn has the talent to replace Adam Thielen as the Vikings’ new No. 2 wide receiver for the 2023 season. But there are also plenty of people that don’t think Osborn is capable of filling the role.

During the last few weeks, there have been a number of mock drafts that have Minnesota using their first-round selection on a new wide receiver. If this happens, there’s a good chance that Osborn will slide down the depth chart in order to make room for the Vikings’ newest pass-catcher.

He should be able to still keep his spot on Minnesota’s roster for the upcoming season. But any hopes that Osborn has of starting alongside Justin Jefferson for the majority of the 2023 campaign will likely go out the window if the Vikings decide to use this year’s first-round pick on a receiver.
