Mock drafts can get a bit repetitive in terms of how the exercise is done. Sometimes, folks will throw an added guideline to filling out picks, and a common one is going with either all skill players or all defensive players.
This week, PFF decided to publish a new mock draft with one added rule to the selections and the result gave the Vikings an interesting pick. Nathan Jahnke of PFF published a mock draft where every pick had to be a skill player.
At 24 overall, he selected an Ohio State running back Quinshon Judkins. He writes, “Aaron Jones is a free agent, but even if he re-signs, he’s not the long-term solution in Minnesota. The Vikings have their rookie quarterback and multiple great receiver options, so another running back is a clear choice. The Vikings could go in many different directions to what kind of running back they add since, ideally, they add another running back to pair with this one.”
The Vikings have been tied to another Buckeye running back, TreVeyon Henderson, in recent mocks. While this exercise doesn’t usually highlight who can be drafted down the board, the position is certainly one the team needs to address.
