Offensive Tackle. Ole Miss. Greg Little. 18. player. 60.

The Minnesota Vikings made it all the way to the NFC Championship Game last season, as they were able to reach the brink of the Super Bowl with Case Keenum at quarterback. This offseason, they decided to roll with a new guy under center, as Keenum went to Denver, and the Vikings signed coveted free agent Kirk Cousins.

While Cousins put up good numbers for Minnesota, he did not equate to them  taking the next step forward, and they actually took two steps back. Minnesota failed to even make the playoffs, as the Chicago Bears leapfrogged them in  the NFC North, and will now have to look to fill holes this coming offseason.

One area where they need a significant boost is along the offensive line, which is just not the dominating force it once was. If still available at No. 18, Greg Little from Ole Miss would be a nice addition to the position group, as he is one of the better offensive linemen in this draft class, and could stay on the left side at the next level.

Minnesota signed Riley Reiff to a five-year deal in 2017, and they spent a second round pick on Brian O’Neill in the 2018 NFL Draft. However, Little may be too good to pass up here, and as we saw this past season, you can never have too much depth, especially good depth up front on offense.
