60. . DL. Clemson. Dexter Lawrence. 18. player

Sheldon Richardson will be a free agent again in 2019 and there’s definitely some age questions for the Minnesota Vikings in the middle.

So why should it surprise anybody that they decide to add yet another 1st round pick to their defense?

Dexter Lawrence is what they might call a block of clay. He doesn’t look like much now but it the right hands he can become a masterpiece.

The kid is an extraordinary physical talent with tons of power and plenty of athleticism. He just hasn’t yet figured out how to play like a pro. Give him to Mike Zimmer and watch the devastation.
