Fourth round selection #2 (111th overall via Detroit)

Bryce Foster - Center (Texas A&M)

The Vikings double dip in this mock and land Aggies center Bryce Foster. Foster is a massive center, standing 6-foot-5 and weighing over 330 pounds, so very rarely do you see him get pushed back consistently like current Vikings center Garrett Bradbury.

Selecting Foster gives Minnesota a nice backup plan if they decide to let go of Bradbury, whose contract has no dead cap if released in 2024.

The Vikings could decide to keep Bradbury and develop Foster, or they could throw him into the fire as a rookie and have him battle a cheap, seasoned veteran for the starting spot in 2024.

Foster, like Christian Haynes, is a very adequate pass blocker and a solid run blocker as well. The Aggies center may struggle against small, more agile interior defenders, but unlike Bradbury, Foster can hold his own against bigger, stronger interior defensive linemen.

All in all, it may be time to start over if you're Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and the Vikings. Will Justin Jefferson be willing to go through a rebuild of this magnitude?
