60. <p>Last year in the draft the Minnesota Vikings were very active. While it is unsure if their aggressiveness will resonate again, one thing that is certain is the pressing need for help on the offensive line.</p> <p>After drafting quarterback Teddy Bridgewater in the first round last year, for the most part, Minnesota saw their prized investment thrown around on a weekly basis. With their recent misses on quarterbacks, a potential injury or hindered progression is not something the Vikings need.</p> <p>Coming into the draft Andrus Peat is one of the top prospects on the offensive line. Matt Kalil was banged up for most of last season, and even when healthy, he was just average. Drafting Andrus would bring great assurance to the offensive line, allowing Bridgewater and the front staff to finally earn a good nights rest.</p>. Offensive Tackle. Stanford. Andrus Peat. 11. player

Kevin White. 12. player. 53. <p>Originally this slot was going to go towards the defensive line, instead, with the recent news surrounding receiver Josh Gordon, this becomes Cleveland’s primary need.</p> <p>The wide receiver class this season is relatively strong. Cleveland could chose to go in another direction here and rely on the depth of the class, or, they could replace an elite player with an elite prospect.</p> <p>Kevin White fits the mold of an elite prospect. White has ideal height (six feet, three inches), while also having an ideal weight (210). More importantly, he has the proper skill set. His more than reliable hands, ability to separate from defenders and make something happen after the catch makes White a “cant-miss” prospect.</p> <p>For Cleveland, they would begin to add to what is a talent-deficient offense. With a cloud of uncertainty hovering over the quarterback position, it is important that whoever is the quarterback has weapons to throw to.</p>. Wide Receiver. West Virginia
