Here is a revised version of my board, filtered to TayKZY's liking - no QBs, HBs, TEs, or LBs (that is, off-the-ball LBs):
DT Brown is now at his rightful spot at #8.
Next, let's look at another position of need; this time, let's closely examine all of the offensive linemen:
(Note that some of the O-linemen here played tackle in college, but their selected position reflects where they will likely end up in the NFL.)
This isn't a good year for needing interior O-linemen, but the tackles are a plenty. For the Vikings' needs, they'll likely be targeting O-linemen who have higher pSparq and RAS ratings, though they won't be totally bound by this - last year's 4th rounder G Dru Samia ranked very low athletically.
Some later round picks that fit the Vikings system would be Hennessy and Peart, and later on Driscoll and Adeniji would also be fits. With a couple of project O-linemen already on the roster (Samia, Udoh, Collins?) and some depth pieces (Elflein, Dozier, Jones, Hill), there's not a ton of room open for more projects. They need guys to step up and start, but for guard I'm not sure there's a lot here. I wouldn't rule out moving one of these tackles to guard (Wanogho comes to mind), as many NFL guards played tackle in college.
And if only I had this board ready back when I did my "Guide to the Offseason" article... I certainly wouldn't do Lemieux in the first round round again.
Anyways, any O-linemen pique your interest?
