12. Minnesota Vikings
12. player. 60. Mike Zimmer has always been a secondary guy at heart. That’s where his greatest career successes as a coach were born. It’s no surprise that the Minnesota Vikings have invested in that area each year. Zimmer wants the best talent in an area that he knows most. That makes perfect sense. One should expect that to continue in 2018, most likely at the safety position where they still have just one proper star in Harrison Smith. <p>How ironic would it be then if they grabbed Ronnie Harrison out of Alabama. Another one of those big, strong, and tough defenders who can throw his body around in the run game but retains the necessary athleticism and speed to make quarterbacks pay in coverage if they aren’t careful. He’ll have a proper chance to show why he’s so enticing a talent this year. If Zimmer gets his hands on him? Game over.</p>. S. Alabama. Ronnie Harrison
