60. . Offensive Tackle. Alabama. Jonah Williams. 18. player

The Minnesota Vikings got quite the scare for the defensive side of the ball this past month, as it looked like star linebacker Anthony Barr was headed to  the New York Jets. Fortunately for the Vikings, he changed his mind at the last minute, and will once again be a leader on this defense in 2019.

On the offensive side of the ball, the Vikings struggled up front all season long in 2018, and they should utilize their No. 18 overall pick on arguably the best offensive lineman in the draft class. Jonah Williams from Alabama has been mocked everywhere from  the top-10, to the 20s, but he would be a nice addition to this Vikings roster here.

Minnesota has already added some offensive linemen this offseason, bring in both Brett Jones and Josh Kline. Still, passing on Williams here makes no sense, and he is the kind of offensive lineman that they could really build this unit around moving forward.

Williams was an All-American offensive tackle during his time at Alabama, but some believe he could be an All-Pro at one of the guard spots at the next level. Regardless where they put him, the Vikings need help up front, and Williams will eventually be a beast in the NFL.
