Minnesota Vikings: Stealing one player from each NFC North foe

Green Bay Packers

Jaire Alexander - CB

It was hard not to pick Kenny Clark here, but Jaire Alexander is one of the best corners in the league and would make a porous Vikings defense that much better. You could argue that Alexander would be the best Minnesota cornerback they've had in the last 10 to 15 years.

Byron Murphy Jr. is the Vikings' most experienced corner, other than recently signed John Reid, who is unlikely to make it through training camp. With defensive coordinator Brian Flores wanting to play Murphy inside for the majority of the season, the likes of Akayleb Evans, Andrew Booth Jr., and Joejuan Williams will battle it out for two outside corner positions, and that is not ideal.

Alexander would do wonders in Flores' defense. He's a fast, physical corner who you can put one-on-one on the outside every play, something the Vikings haven't had since Xavier Rhodes' incredible 2017 season. Adding a player like Alexander would help this Minnesota team compete with teams like the Niners and Eagles in the NFC in 2023.

Kenny Clark was tough to pass up on. With the Vikings having a significant role in the interior of their defensive line, Clark would have been perfect to steal for Kevin O'Connell and his team. However, most Vikings fans should feel more confident in Harrison Phillips, Khyiris Tonga, and Dean Lowry than the group of Evans, Booth, or Joejuan Williams in the secondary, which led me to select Alexander over Clark.

With that being said, who would you steal from each NFC North team?
