5 NFL Teams That Need Wide Receiver Help Entering the Draft

Minnesota Vikings

One has to feel for the Minnesota Vikings, who have tried their hardest to integrate the natural talent of players like Cordarrelle Patterson and Charles Johnson and failed. The Vikings may not have made this list if not for releasing Mike Wallace, who -- despite the brutal 54.17 percent Catch Rate he had -- was a quality enough option to qualify for this study.

No, Wallace was not a fit with this offense’s capabilities, but that leaves the Vikings hanging all of their hopes and prayers on sophomore wideout Stefon Diggs (0.72 Reception NEP per target in his first year) and slot receiver Jarius Wright (0.64 Reception NEP per target).

The natural quickness of these players complements quarterback Teddy Bridgewater's short, timing-based style of play, but the Vikings could use a more potent big threat to get this passing game off the ground.
