Vikings | Minnesota drafts Justin Jefferson

Louisiana State WR Justin Jefferson was selected by the Minnesota Vikings Thursday, April 23, with the 22nd overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Footballguys View: This was the pick the Vikings picked up from the Bills in the Stefon Diggs trade. Jefferson was the best receiver in this class when it came to contested catches. He’s a slot receiver who can make defenders look silly in the open field. Jefferson should be a big-play, security-blanket receiver for Kirk Cousins.
