Minnesota Vikings Mock Draft – Third Round

player. Oklahoma. Perrion Winfrey . 77. 60. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. DT

For those lookin for an offensive selection, you’re going to have to keep waiting. In the third round, Minnesota is up at No. 77 overall. So, how about Oklahoma defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey to improve the push up front?

Winfrey closed out the ’21 season with 23 total tackles and 5.5 sacks. He was a force in the trenches for former Sooners head coach Lincoln Riley. Now, Winfrey is ready to take his talents to the next level and make a difference for an NFL side.

Winfrey very well could be available for the Vikings when it’s their time to pick in the third round. What could entice Minnesota to go with Winfrey is that defensive tackle Michael Pierce battled injuries last season and was only able to suit up for eight contests.

Pierce is a monster himself at 340 pounds, but injuries have been a concern for him. Winfrey could head to the Vikings and not be relied upon to be the leader of the defensive line, but also be counted on to step up when needed to.
