Mike Tannebaum spent time in the NFL as the general manager and executive of the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins. During his time with those teams, he made several key moves and draft picks and has since become a voice people listen to in the NFL media space, regardless of what he has to say.
Tannebaum may not be everyone's cup of tea, as social media has been critical of him and his projected move. He published a mock draft this week with some good picks riddled throughout it.
One of those good picks went to the Vikings as he has them drafting Texas cornerback Jahdae Barron.
Tannanbaum explains the pick saying, "Getting Barron at this point in the first round would be outstanding value for Minnesota. He could excel in Brian Flores' defense after posting 20 pass breakups and eight interceptions over the past three seasons. Barron's versatility would be key for the Vikings, who signed Jeff Okudah and Isaiah Rodgers and re-signed Byron Murphy Jr. this month. He played as both a slot and outside corner last season, which means Minnesota could move him to fit what it needs."
If the Vikings can get Barron, this secondary would have some serious juice. Having him alongside Byron Murphy Jr. on the outside would be devastating for opposing offenses to have to work against. This is a dream scenario for the Vikings and their fans so fingers crossed he is there at 24 come April's draft.
