2022 NFL Draft: Minnesota Vikings 7-round mock
Minnesota Vikings Mock Draft – Fifth Round
TE . Ohio State. Jeremy Ruckert Jr. . Pick Analysis. 155. player. 60. Scouting Report
At tight end for the Vikings, Irv Smith Jr. was expected to have a huge 2021 after the team parted ways with Kyle Rudolph, but a torn meniscus sidelined him for the year. Tyler Conkin had a season to remember, but this team still needs some depth. That’s why using a fifth-round pick on Ohio State’s Jeremy Ruckert Jr. could be a wise move. Ruckert caught 26 balls for 309 yards and three touchdowns this past season.
Minnesota Vikings Mock Draft – Sixth Round
Pick Analysis. WR. 60. Scouting Report. Oklahoma State. Tay Martin. 182. player
The Vikings are going to be quite busy in the sixth round, as they own three picks. First is No. 182, where Minnesota could go after another pass-catcher. In this spot, Oklahoma State’s Tay Martin could be a steal of a pick. He really came into his own late in 2021. Martin’s speed and great hands would be nice for Kirk Cousins.
Minnesota Vikings Mock Draft – Sixth Round
Scouting Report. CB. Tycen Anderson. 60. Pick Analysis. Toledo. 190. player
While the thought is the Vikings will go with a cornerback in the first round, that doesn’t mean they’ll be done at the position. With that said, Toledo cornerback Tycen Anderson is another player who has flown under the radar a bit. However, he’s got great speed and is a sure tackler. He’s got the potential to be a diamond in the rough.

60. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. CB. Jaylen Watson. 206. player. Washington State
If the Vikings decide to go elsewhere at No. 191 over cornerback, then look for them to attack the position at No. 207. That’s where a guy like Washington State’s Jaylen Watson could come into play. Watson was a stud for the Cougars, recording countless big plays for the team over the past two years. Watson also hits the gridiron with plenty of swag, which Vikings fans would love to see.
Minnesota Vikings Mock Draft – Seventh Round
Scouting Report. EDGE. Florida. Jeremiah Moon. player. Pick Analysis. 229. 60
Last but not least, Minnesota will be closing their draft out in the seventh round with the No. 229 pick. With their being a need to improve the pass-rush, EDGE Jeremiah Moon out of Florida would be a great way to close things out. Moon is a 6-foot-2, 245-pounder who posted two sacks last season.
Next. 3 players Vikings should trade not named Kirk Cousins. dark
