As the stage gets set for the Super Bowl, the NFL Draft gets an even clearer picture. 30 of 32 teams have turned their focus to the off-season, including the NFL Draft on April 27. With that, understanding how front offices might attack the draft becomes crucial.
Although mock drafts are an imperfect science, they’re perfect for setting the scene. Ultimately, no mock draft in January will be perfect, but they can help paint a picture of what teams need and how they can use the resources available.
Here at Vikings Wire, we’ll have you covered on the ever-changing NFL Draft landscape.

The problem is that his film shows concerning valleys that lower his floor. While the Colts could opt for a higher floor, Chris Ballard takes a swing for the fences with Levis.
