We are now two weeks removed from the unofficial start of free agency. The Vikings were fairly active, signing six free agents from other teams and keeping a bunch of their own. Veteran outside linebacker Chad Greenway is their only remaining free agent of note.
Now their focus shifts back to the draft.
By adding a pair of offensive linemen and bringing in a veteran safety to compete for a starting job, the Vikings have addressed two of their biggest needs before the draft. But that won't preclude them from selecting players at those two positions, perhaps even in the first round.
So which prospects do the national draftniks think the Vikings will target with the 23rd selection in their latest post-free-agency mock drafts? Here's a hint: It's often one big need they did not tackle in free agency.
Pete Prisco, CBS Sports.com: Will Fuller, WR, Notre Dame. "They need speed outside and this kid can fly," Prisco wrote. "He would quickly become Teddy Bridgewater's down-the-field option."
Daniel Jeremiah, NFL.com: Corey Coleman, WR, Baylor. "Coleman would team up with Stefon Diggs to provide Teddy Bridgewater with two young and explosive playmakers," Jeremiah wrote.
Will Brinson, CBS Sports.com: Josh Doctson, WR, TCU. "Doctson has great ball-control skills and is an all-around quality receiver," Brinson wrote. "There isn't a No. 1 on the Vikings yet and they need one for Teddy Bridgewater."
Josh Norris, Rotoworld: Doctson. "All Josh Doctson did was show up at the NFL Combine, go through an entire workout and test like the top athlete at the position," he wrote. "We all love his ability to make contested catches, floating in the air with outstanding body control. His routes are further ahead than given credit for. Teddy needs a receiver like Doctson."
