The NFL Draft is 8 days away. Today I’m looking at defensive line prospects for the Minnesota Vikings. The draft is very deep on the defensive line and there are a few prospects the Vikings might be able to snag with their 1st round pick, 3rd round pick or a trade back scenario. I’m going to ignore the top couple of prospects, as I don’t see a big trade up scenario happening. If Mason Graham or Walter Nolan drop, I expect the Vikings to pounce, but you can’t expect that.
Kenneth Grant – Michigan – 6’3” 339 lbs
The NT from Michigan might be taken prior to the Vikings being on the clock. He can take on multiple blockers on the interior and would be a solid addition to the DL.
Omarr Norman-Lott – Tennessee – 6’3” 315 lbs
Athletic 3 technique that can come in an immediately be a rotational player for Flores.
Tyleik Williams – Ohio State – 6’3” 327 lbs
Williams is a Day 2 prospect. He’s a two down run stuffing NT now. He has potential to develop pass rush technique in the right situation.
Darius Alexander – Toledo – 6’4” 310 lbs
Alexander has a lot of potential. He probably can put on another 10 lbs of muscle working with NFL trainers. He’ll be one that rotates in early and hopes to gain more playing time as he proves himself.
Derrick Harmon – Oregon – 6’5” 310 lbs
He had one great year in college. He might be better served as a 3 tech DT in a 4-3. I like him as a prospect, but might not be the best fit.
