TCU. Josh Doctson. 23. player. 60. . WR

The Vikings have bigger needs than wide receiver, but Josh Doctson is too good at 23 to pass up.  Pairing him with breakout rookie Stefon Diggs will open up the passing game, and give Adrian Peterson more lanes to run through.

A strong combine performance really has the league buzzing about Doctson, and if Corey Coleman can’t go at his pro day with Baylor, it’s possible Doctson will move up further.

Doctson tied for the best vertical among receivers, and is already taller than Coleman.  He also showed better agility than most of his group, and was a standout during the position drills.

At this time however, he’s available here, and the Vikings’ offense just set themselves up to score more touchdowns, and settle for fewer field goals.
