The 2025 NFL Draft will begin on April 24, and to prepare for that, we need Vikings fans to be fully prepared in every way. Of course, we will cover players the Vikings will need, but it is important to go beyond that.
In the case of this defensive lineman report, we will cover the position here at Vikings Wire because the team needs some better talent at the position.
The Vikings have Harrison Phillips locked up after extending him earlier in the year. Outside of Phillips, the team has a rotation of players, many of whom are looming free agents. Getting another difference maker in the middle, perhaps one who can pass rush more than Phillips, would be a good compliment.
With that in mind, here is a defensive tackle prospect who could don a Vikings uniform next season.
