2019 NFL Mock Draft 1.0: Los Angeles Rams focus on linebacker first round

18. Minnesota Vikings: Greg Little, Offensive Tackle, Mississippi

The Minnesota Vikings made a bold move last offseason by deciding to move on from Case Keenum and sign Kirk Cousins to quite a hefty contract, yet it still didn’t result in the team earning a trip to the playoffs.

After coming up short of reaching the Super Bowl the year before following a tough loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship, the signing of Cousins was supposed to put the Vikings in better position to earn a trip to the big game.

Instead, Minnesota would go on to watch the playoffs from home, and enter the offseason with a few questions in need of answers, especially when it comes to making sure Cousins finds a way to elevate his game to a new level to prove he was worth every penny of that hefty deal.

In order for this to happen, the Vikings need to make sure that Cousins receives the proper protection from the offensive line, and Greg Little has the physical style of play to give the unit a better chance of this happening if he were to come on board.

Plus, all those years Little spent playing in the SEC as a member of Ole Miss could give him an advantage over most rookies at his position.
