It\u2019s officially draft season! The Senior Bowl kicked off earlier this week with practices and player interviews, which means it\u2019s time to predict where these prospects will land. Without further ado, here is an early 2019 Minnesota Vikings<\/a> Mock Draft.<\/p>\n

2019 Minnesota Vikings Mock Draft<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Prefacing the Draft<\/h2>\n

The Vikings currently hold five draft picks in 2019. They hold their own draft picks in rounds one through four, as well as round six. The team traded its fifth-round pick to the Denver Broncos<\/a> in the Trevor Siemian<\/strong><\/a> trade last off-season. Minnesota also traded its seventh-round pick to the New York Giants<\/a> for Brett Jones<\/strong><\/a>. The team will also likely receive three compensatory selections, two in round six and one in round seven, giving them eight total selections. Important to note: the Vikings will not receive a compensatory selection for Sam Bradford<\/a><\/strong>, as he was released by the Arizona Cardinals<\/a> prior to week 10.<\/p>\n

General manager Rick Spielman<\/strong> is no stranger to trading back on draft night and acquiring extra selections. With only eight picks projected in their hands, there is quite the possibility that the Vikings will look to move back at some point to stash extra picks later in the draft. Now let\u2019s get into it.<\/p>\n

Round One: Andre Dillard, Tackle, Washington State<\/h2>\n

Andre Dillard<\/a><\/strong> has exploded onto the scene over the past few weeks. After a strong season in 2018, he accepted an invite to the Senior Bowl and is continuing to showcase his talents. Dillard has incredible upper-body strength and great athleticism as a left tackle. He passes off blocks well and keeps his opponent in front with ease, not allowing pressure on the quarterback.<\/p>\n
