The Minnesota Vikings picked up a massive home victory on Sunday, defeating the Washington Commanders 31-0. The offense had arguably its best showing of the year, and the defense limited the returning Jayden Daniels to a minimal impact before he departed with an elbow injury. With week 14 wrapped up, we take a peek toward the future and bring you another mock draft. The Vikings’ draft spot has not changed, but the board has, resulting in different picks?Round One, Pick 11: David Bailey, EDGE, Texas TechLast week, we mocked Peter Woods out of Clemson in this spot. With him gone, we stay along the defensive front, taking the sack leader in College Football this season. Bailey is the star of a monster Red Raiders defense, and is on the heels of winning their first conference championship in over 50 years. Bailey has a nasty knee bend and a great get off, and his hands land firm and in the right spot every time.Round Two, Pick 43: Chris Johnson, CB, San Diego StateWe are going to try not to repeat too many picks, but with Chris Johnson on the board here in two straight weeks, the value is way too good to pass up. Johnson immediately elevates a weaker secondary and would bring a ballhawking mindset to a defense that needs just that.Round Three, Pick 75: Emmanuel Pregnon, OG, OregonEmmanuel Pregnon is going to be a draft riser, so don’t expect to get him here at 75 come April. Pregnon is the anchor of a very good Oregon offensive line. He uses his massive reach to land early, causing his defender to immediately be behind the eight ball. He is an older prospect, but could be much closer to NFL-ready than other IOL prospects. He could compete with Will Fries immediately for a starting job in camp. Round Three, Pick 97: Nicholas Singleton, RB, Penn StateWhile it might be a down year for Nicholas Singleton, you can’t deny his upside. This running back room needs a facelift, and Singleton brings just that. His explosiveness and breakaway speed are what this unit needs. If he runs where many expect him to, in the 4.35 range, his stock could climb back to near where it was entering the year. Singleton and Mason would make a very good one-two punch. Round Five, Pick 151: John Mateer, QB, OklahomaThe board was not very favorable to us this week, so we are going to take an upside play in John Mateer out of Oklahoma. His playmaking ability as a runner, paired with a plus arm, would make camp a little interesting for J.J. McCarthy. I am unsure if you bring back Carson Wentz, and we saw what Max Brosmer can do. Let’s bring in another young guy who could use some time sitting on the bench to develop. Round Seven, Pick 225: Barion Brown, WR, LSUBarion Brown brings top-end speed to take the top off of any defense he plays against. Outside of Justin Jefferson, there isn’t really a guy you can truly depend on, so let’s fill this room with upside players who could turn into rotational pieces. At this point in the draft, you take dart throws. Brown is certainly a dart throw I would make. Round Seven, Pick 230: Dalton Brooks, S, Texas A&MDalton Brooks, out of Texas A&M, is someone who needs reps to get better in pass coverage, but makes up for those lapses with his run support. Brooks is arguably a top-five player at his position in his class in that department, and his tape will help his draft stock once the season is over. Three sacks and 55 total tackles, we will take for a Safety who has some work to do. Round Seven, Pick 233: Nyck Harbor, WR, South CarolinaFor all the same reasons as why we took him last week, we are throwing darts here. With his pure athleticism he can bring, he is more than worth it and see if he can find a natural position to play. Round Seven, Pick 242: Desmond Reid, RB, PittsburghDesmond Reid rounds out this draft class, and he could be a hidden gem this late. His receiving skills out of the backfield, paired with his return ability, almost guarantee him a spot in a training camp, and instead of fighting for him as a UDFA, we draft him to guarantee he is with Minnesota. His smaller stature (5’8, 175 lbs) is more than made up for with his gritty, downhill mindset.
