The Minnesota Vikings hold the 23rd overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Here are five prospects who could fall to them.
The NFL Draft is just around the corner. We’ve already spent months tracking the prospects who are projected to go in the first round, ranking and reranking them based on game tape, workouts, and what rumors we are hearing from various sources, whether they are reliable or not.
While the draft will always be unpredictable, we are getting a sense of how the first round may shake out. We have a general idea of who is going in the top ten, and are also getting an understanding of who is getting positive buzz as the draft approaches and which prospects are beginning to cool off a bit as this process has unfolded.
The Minnesota Vikings sit at the 23rd overall pick and have some pretty defined needs at wide receiver, cornerback, and defensive tackle. Quarterback is another position that has been getting a lot of steam in recent weeks. There are plenty of players who are expected to go in the top 20 who could fill some of those holes.
Every year prospects tumble down the draft board whether of their own doing or because of certain factors outside of their control. The Vikings will hope one of these five prospects falls to them at pick 23, filling a need with a prospect they weren’t expecting to be available.
