The Minnesota Vikings have one of the more loaded wide receiver rooms in the NFL and they added to it to end the third round of the NFL Draft.
The VIkings traded back to end the second day of the NFL Draft and picked up some extra picks in the process. They then selected wide receiver Tai Felton out of Maryland. The big receiver plays like it by attacking the ball in the air, winning 50/50 balls, and being able to overwhelm defenders when they attempt to cover him. He lacks speed and agility in open space, but he makes up for it with physical dominance.
Could he develop some better movement skills? For sure, being around Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison won't hurt.
Felton will likely be fighting with Jalen Nailor for reps as the third wide receiver, but don't be surprised to see him being used in dynamic ways in the redzone due to his size.
