4. Jon Feliciano

The Bills will likely be looking to secure an upgrade over Feliciano at guard in free agency. That leaves the 29-year-old lineman open to finding a new home this offseason.

The Vikings should strongly consider bringing him in if the price is right. Feliciano struggles mildly in pass protection, but he still grades out as a positive as a run blocker. He won’t blast massive holes up for Dalvin Cook, but he can give the talented runner more space on his interior runs.

The simple truth is that Feliciano is an average starting guard. The Vikings are in need of a player like that who can stabilize their offensive line. He’s not going to be a difference-maker, but he won’t be the line’s weakest link either.

Giving Feliciano a multi-year deal at anything less than $5 million should pay off handsomely for the Vikings. He’s never going to turn into a star, but he can give Minnesota a boost of competence they can really use up front.
