Brentley Weissman of The Draft Network
The predicted pick: Zay Flowers, Receiver, Boston College
Weissman’s take: “Adam Thielen’s run with the Vikings has ended and the team must look to add another receiver to go opposite Justin Jefferson. The speedy playmaker out of Boston College could be a great fit as a deep-threat option and he is also excellent with the ball in his hands after the catch.”

Ryan Fowler of The Draft Network
The predicted pick: Emmanuel Forbes, Jr., Cornerback, Mississippi State
Fowler’s take: “Patrick Peterson and Duke Shelley [departed in free agency], and [the Vikings waived] Cameron Dantzler, Sr., making the way for Emmanuel Forbes, Jr., to start opposite 2022 second-rounder Andrew Booth, Jr., this fall. The premier ball-hawk in the class, a secondary of Booth, Forbes, safety Lewis Cine, and Akayleb Evans is young, yes, but extremely talented that can do a lot of things well.”

Jeff Risdon of Draft Wire (three rounds)
The predicted pick: Nolan Smith, Outside Linebacker, Georgia
Risdon’s take: “Smith gets a little lost after missing the end of his final Bulldogs season with a torn pec. A team like the Vikings stops the fall for an accomplished all-around stand-up [edge defender]. Smith has enough athleticism and savvy to work in some off-ball LB looks, too.”
The predicted pick at No. 87: Israel Abanikanda, Running Back, Pittsburgh
