2021 NFL Draft: Two-round mock draft with latest prospect predictions
16. Minnesota Vikings: Hamilcar Rashed, EDGE, Oregon State
The Minnesota Vikings are taking on a lot more roster turnover in 2020 than anyone who is a fan of any of the other 31 NFL teams probably realizes.
The Vikings lost Stefon Diggs notably with the trade to the Buffalo Bills, but they also lost guys like Everson Griffen defensively along with most of their top contributing cornerbacks.
The pass rush needs to be revamped in Minnesota, and perhaps a somewhat underrated player from Oregon State can help.
Hamilcar Rashed was an All-American in 2019 with 62 total tackles, 22.5 tackles for loss, and 14 sacks along with a pair of forced fumbles.
Even as productive as Rashed was last season for the Beavers, his upside is tremendous because there’s room to grow in terms of his strength and overall game, but the pass rush ability he has was on full display last season.
He could address a big need for the Vikings in 2021.
