The Minnesota Vikings have a variety of needs as they head into the next season. While they have yet to make any free agent moves, cornerback is one position many fans and the media expect the Vikings to prioritize.
On Sunday, Joe Marino of The Draft Network helped the Vikings out by having them select South Carolina cornerback Cam Smith in his latest mock draft.
“The Minnesota Vikings stacked a bunch of wins together in 2022 with little help from their defense, which must be upgraded this offseason. Cam Smith is a versatile corner that can win in zone or man with exciting ball skills, physicality, and athleticism to be a lock-down performer in the NFL.”
The Vikings currently have Cameron Dantzler, Akayleb Evans and Andrew Booth Jr. under contract for next season, so adding Smith would be a big addition to that cornerback room.
There is still a lot that can happen between now and April, but if the Vikings come away with Smith in round one, they can feel comfortable knowing they have some youth and potential to build for the future.
