ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. has the Vikings taking offensive lineman Cody Whitehair out of Kansas State at No. 23 in his latest mock draft. In a conference call Monday advancing the NFL combine, Kiper explained what he likes about Whitehair.
"I wouldn't be surprised to see Whitehair come in and be a guy who immediately starts and plays at a high level and at the end of the year is one of the best rookies in the league," Kiper said of the versatile lineman. "I think Whitehair is a heck of an offensive lineman with tremendous versatility, and he's ready to play in the NFL right now."
