23. player. 60. <p>Throughout the draft process, the common theme concerning the Vikings has been that the team needs to upgrade its offensive line. That is still true to some degree, but Minnesota added a bit of veteran help in free agency, which allows the front office to examine a few other paths to upgrade the overall tenor of the roster.</p> <p>To that end, the Vikings employ exactly one NFL starter-quality wide receiver, and that is Stefon Diggs. In addition, Diggs isn’t exactly the most proven commodity, having exploded on to the scene mid-season in 2015, and Minnesota must look to provide Teddy Bridgewater with something in the way of a full complement of options moving forward.</p> <p>At this spot, the Vikings would have a choice between Corey Coleman and TCU’s Josh Doctson, and my personal preference stands with Coleman. He is undersized at less than 6 feet tall, but if you can get past that, Coleman is the full package of a speedy receiver with good hands and crisp athleticism. There is a certain degree of fear with his route running given that Baylor doesn’t run an NFL-caliber offense, but Coleman’s tools are undeniable.</p> <p>Minnesota is going to be a run-based team until Adrian Peterson retires or moves on, but that shouldn’t stop the Vikings from upgrading their wide receiving corps. It’s time for an addition.</p>. WR. Baylor. Corey Coleman
