60. . Offensive Lineman. Ohio State. Billy Price. 30. player

The Minnesota Vikings battled through injuries last season, as both their starting quarterback, and star rookie running back both went down with knee issues. As they head into next season, the hope is Dalvin Cook will be back running the ball, though they have no idea who will be playing quarterback. Case Keenum went from third-string to starting in the NFC Championship Game, and he may be the best player to lead this team moving forward.

When it comes to the offense next season, the Vikings have to focus on running the ball. One of the better interior linemen in this draft class is Billy Price, who has been a stud during his time at Ohio State. Price has been a star center and guard for the Buckeyes, and while he tore his pec during the NFL Scouting Combine, he should still be a first round pick.

This Vikings team has one of the better defenses in the league, and they should once again be a playoff team next season. The issues at quarterback are worrisome, and some believe they may actually go with Sam Bradford as their starter in 2018. Whoever is under center, this team is going to feed Cook if he is healthy, and Price would be a solid addition to an offensive line that needs help.
