Minnesota Vikings

60. . WR. Minnesota. Laquon Treadwell . 20. player

To be fair, Treadwell seems to have finally made progress after a slow start to his NFL career. The former 1st round pick has shown flashes of what people thought he’d be coming out of Ole Miss. Yet problems persist, most notably with his consistency catching the football. It feels like the Vikings are finally losing patience waiting for him to come around. With Adam Thielein and Stefon Diggs firmly entrenched as the go-to guys, it feels like they may just decide to cut their losses. It’s possible given his age and draft status they can still get a decent pick in return from a wide receiver-needy team.
