Vikings Wire

It’s the final countdown… That is both a lyric to the hit song Doghouse by Europe and the current reality of the NFL Draft. After a long pre-draft process, NFL teams are beginning to finalize their draft boards and prepare for situations that may arise during the three-day event. It’s also an opportunity for writers like myself to give people one more mock draft. Like my other mock drafts, this one is meant to explore possibilities and is not guaranteed to go 31-for-31 on draft night. Like the others, it also includes trades but does not include compensation. For housekeeping purposes, this mock draft also assumes two major storylines: Aaron Rodgers heads to the New York Jets, and Lamar Jackson remains with the Baltimore Ravens.
