Let’s take a look at what they’ve got, shall we?Dan Kadar, SB Nation: Irv Smith, Jr., TE, AlabamaNo commentary from Dan on this pick, but I don’t know if this would be a precursor to any sort of Kyle Rudolph deal or not.Steve Muench, E$PN: Miles Sanders, RB, Penn StateSanders is a nice player and all, but I don’t think the Vikings are going running back in the second round. At least, I hope they’re not.Steven Ruiz Xavier Rhodes Jersey , For the Win (USA Today): Max Scharping, OT, Northern IllinoisIt wouldn’t be surprising to see the Vikings double-up on the offensive line, to be honest.Walter Cherepinsky, Walter Football: Jaylon Ferguson, DE, Louisiana Tech, and Jace Sternberger, TE, Texas A&MI want to make clear that the commentary, particularly the “mental issues” bit, comes from WF, not from me. But these would be a solid couple of picks, I think.Vinnie Iyer Mike Remmers Jersey , Sporting News: Dre’Mont Jones, DT, Ohio StateDraftTek: Zach Allen, DT, Boston College, and Ben Banogu, DE, Texas ChristianNo commentary on these selections, but I don’t know if the Vikings would take two defensive linemen unless they moved down and got extra picks first.R.J. White, CBS Sports: Dalton Risner, OL, Kansas StateMatt Miller, Bleacher Report: Dalton Knox, TE Riley Reiff Jersey , Mississippi, and Trysten Hill, DT, Central FloridaNo commentary, but again I don’t know if the selection of a tight end would be an indicator of a Kyle Rudolph trade. Hill would be an intriguing prospect at DT, too.Conor Orr, Sports Illustrated: Byron Murphy, CB, Washington, and Devin Singletary, RB, Florida AtlanticI do think the third round would be a better spot to take a running back, and you know that Mike Zimmer wants to scratch that cornerback itch, particularly after only one corner went in Round 1.That’s a look at a handful of second and third-round projections Latavius Murray Jersey , folks. Are there any that you’re particularly fond of?
