Vikings mock drafts: Post-Senior Bowl edition

Yes, the NFL Draft is still months away, but now that the NFL season is over (well, except for one game) and the collegiate All-Star games are behind us, it seems like a good time to take a first look at the mock drafts being issued around the web.

The Minnesota Vikings own eight picks — each of their own in Rounds 1-5 and Round 7. Minnesota traded its sixth-rounder but obtained one back in a deal with San Francisco for Gerald Hodges. The Vikings also got a seventh-round pick from Buffalo for Matt Cassel.

Most mock drafts, as you’ll see, list only the first round but a few tackle multiple rounds. We’ll continue to provide updates leading up to the start of the draft April 28.
