60. . Offensive Lineman. Minnesota Vikings. Tyler Biadasz. 23. player

Almost there, Rick Spielman. Just one more lineman, and then you can get back to drafting cornerbacks.

The Minnesota Vikings’ need for offensive line talent became apparent after the 2018 season, when the team’s offense was far too inconsistent behind a shoddy starting five. The Vikings drafted Garrett Bradbury in Round 1 of the 2019 NFL Draft to help remedy this issue, and they also saw through the development of offensive tackle Brian O’Neill.

Now, in 2019, both players are paying dividends for the Vikings, and their results have improved. The team is 6-3 with seven games to go, Kirk Cousins is embarking on his most efficient season yet, and Dalvin Cook is a dark horse MVP candidate. With all that being said, there’s still work to be done, especially on the interior, where the Vikings could stand to improve at offensive guard.

Tyler Biadasz can help the Vikings cement their offensive line as one of the better units in the league. He’s a blocker who brings a nice blend of burst off the line, mobility in space, power, and a mean streak that only the best offensive linemen have. In the NFC North, with three of the most formidable interior lines in the league stacking up against the Vikings, taking this position for granted is simply not an option.
