CBS Sports’ Chris Trapasso


March 22, 2019


The predicted pick: Andre Dillard, T, Washington State


The Vikings couldn't be happier. Dillard is a new-age left tackle with impeccable pass-blocking ability.

TRADE: Vikings acquire picks No. 20 (first round), 141 (fifth round), 207 (sixth round) in exchange for 18*th overall pick*


The predicted pick at No. 20: Garrett Bradbury, C/G, North Carolina State


With the top tackle and guard options off the board, the Vikings trade down slightly before pivoting to ... the pivot, where Bradbury is a clear upgrade from Pat Elflein, who can then move over and upgrade one of the guard spots. That configuration with Bradbury at center will help stabilize an interior blocking unit in Minnesota that was terrible last season.

CBS Sports’ Pete Prisco


March 26, 2019


The predicted pick: Jeffrey Simmons, DT, Mississippi State


They need help inside, and this kid might have been a top-10 pick if not for a torn ACL. This would be a steal down the road.

CBS Sports’ Will Brinson


March 20, 2019


The predicted pick: Jonah Williams, T/G, Alabama


The Vikings HAVE to get better on the offensive line for Kirk Cousins' sake, and they do so by drafting Williams, who would presumably kick into guard from the get go for Minnesota but give them an option if one of their current tackles struggles.

CBS Sports’ Jared Dubin


March 28, 2019


TRADE: Vikings acquire pick No. 15 in exchange for 18*th overall pick (rest of trade compensation unknown)*


The predicted pick at No. 15: Cody Ford, T/G, Oklahoma


The Vikes jump up ahead of the Panthers [at pick No. 16] in order to get their preferred offensive lineman, rectifying a major issue that undermined the team last season.
