NFC North Mock Draft: What picks get the Vikings back to the playoffs?

· Yahoo Sports

With the NFL Scouting Combine come and gone, we are getting back into another edition of our favorite series on Vikings Wire: NFC North Mock Drafts

Of course, Mock Draft Monday will still focus on the team itself, but what will the other teams in the division need come next April? We look at that and do full seven-round mock drafts for every team in the NFC North, not just the Minnesota Vikings. By doing that, it accomplishes two things: the first is that fans get to know what the team needs, and the other opponents in the division have, but also, you get to know more names in college football.

With that in mind, let's jump into the picks as we go through the uber-talented NFC North.
