EAGAN, Minn. — The 2020 NFL Scouting Combine is over, and the league's free agency period starts next week.
With the buzz building around potential player movement and roster decisions, it's time for another round of mock draft projections.
The 2020 NFL Draft will be held April 23-25 in Las Vegas, with the Vikings currently scheduled to have the 25th overall pick.
We found 19 recent projections from draft analysts around the league, with all of them focusing on three positions — cornerback, defensive tackle and tackle.
Here's a look at our fourth Vikings 2020 Mock Draft Tracker:
ESPN's Todd McShay
March 2, 2019
The predicted pick: Trevon Diggs, CB, Alabama
Diggs is ultraversatile and has really good closing burst. And since he grew up playing wide receiver like his brother Stefon — a future teammate in Minnesota in this scenario — Diggs has excellent ball skills as well. Trae Waynes, Mackensie Alexander and Marcus Sherels are all free agents, and 29-year-old Xavier Rhodes struggled all season. The Vikings had 17 interceptions last season, tied for the third most in the NFL, and coach Mike Zimmer isn't afraid to draft a Day 1 cornerback (two since 2015) to keep that secondary strong amid potential losses.

Dane Brugler of The Athletic
March 4, 2020
The predicted first-round pick: Austin Jackson, T, Southern California
With his athletic upside, it wouldn't be surprising to see Jackson drafted much higher than this. But if he is still available at No. 25, the Vikings should be interested. The offensive line has seemingly been a question mark for the entire Mike Zimmer era, but adding a high-upside tackle like Jackson could help stabilize the front.
The predicted second-round pick: Antoine Winfield, Jr., S, Minnesota
The predicted third-round pick: Gabriel Davis, WR, UCF

NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah
March 2, 2020
The pick: Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU
Fulton erased some concerns about his speed at the NFL Scouting Combine, where he ran [the 40-yard dash in] 4.46 [seconds]. He had some rough moments at the end of the year, but his body of work is solid.

NFL.com's Chad Reuter
March 6, 2020
The predicted first-round pick: Trevon Diggs, CB, Alabama
Diggs didn't test at the combine, but he moved well in the on-field drills and is willing to take on receivers (like his brother and future teammate — at least in this mock — Stefon) on the outside.
The predicted second-round pick: Jalen Reagor, WR, TCU
The predicted third-round pick: K'Von Wallace, S, Clemson

NFL.com's Cynthia Freland
March 4, 2020
The predicted pick: Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU
Addressing the back end of the defense is a key need for the Vikings. Fulton had 20 forced incompletions in 2019 at LSU (tied for most in the FBS, per PFF) and his 44.9 completion percentage allowed in coverage was a top-20 figure.

Will Brinson of CBS Sports
March 5, 2020
The predicted pick: Bryce Hall, CB, Virginia
Given Xavier Rhodes is probably gone and Trae Waynes is a free agent, you can probably expect the Vikings to take a(nother) cornerback in the first round.

Ryan Wilson of CBS Sports
March 9, 2020
The predicted pick: Josh Jones, T, Houston
Vikings RT Brian O'Neill is coming off a strong sophomore season, but Reilly Reiff, 31, is entering the final year of his deal. Jones, meanwhile, had an outstanding season for the Cougars, improved his draft stock at the Senior Bowl in January, and has the type of strength and athleticism that translates well to the NFL.

Chris Trapasso of CBS Sports
March 3, 2020
The predicted pick: Josh Jones, T, Houston
The Vikings upgrade the left tackle position with Jones, who really cleaned up his footwork in 2019 and has the combination of nastiness, balance, and athleticism to thrive at that vital position in the NFL.

Pete Prisco of CBS Sports
March 2, 2020
The predicted pick: Trevon Diggs, CB, Alabama
We know Mike Zimmer likes drafting corners and they will need one with Trae Waynes and Mackensie Alexander both unrestricted free agents. Diggs would join his brother, Stefon, on the roster.

Josh Edwards of CBS Sports
March 3, 2020
The predicted pick: Neville Gallimore, DT, Oklahoma
The NFC Championship Game showed that the Vikings need to strengthen their game in the trenches. Gallimore is a strong player who plays with maximum effort. He should provide a jolt to those pass rushers on either side of him.

Tom Fornelli of CBS Sports
March 3, 2020
The predicted pick: A.J. Terrell, CB, Clemson
The Vikings need secondary help and Terrell has a lot of the qualities they have shown a fondness for at the position.

Mike Renner of Pro Football Focus
March 2, 2020
The predicted pick: Marlon Davidson, DT, Auburn
Davidson continues to bulk up into a 3-tech this offseason. After being listed at 280 for Auburn last year, he came to the Senior Bowl at 297 and then checked in at 303 this past week at the Combine. The fact that he still ran a 5.04 [in the] 40 at that weight should be considered a win. He should be a massive upgrade over Shamar Stephen, who collected only six pressures on 350 pass-rushes last season.

Kevin Hanson of Sports Illustrated
March 3, 2020
The predicted pick: Neville Gallimore, DT, Oklahoma
Nose tackle Linval Joseph … could be a cap casualty. If the Vikings don't cut Joseph or if they keep him on a restructured deal, Gallimore would be an upgrade alongside him. Either way, the 304-pound Canadian moves incredibly well, as his 4.79 forty illustrates.

Danny Kelly of The Ringer
March 3, 2020
The predicted pick: Trevon Diggs, CB, Alabama
Well-built and stingy cover corner with a prototypical blend of size, speed, and physicality.

Dan Kadar of SB Nation
March 2, 2020
The predicted pick: Austin Jackson, T, Southern California
If Jackson and Houston's Josh Jones are both available, the Vikings should flip a coin and choose whichever one it lands on. Both are a step below the top four offensive tackles, but have starting ability as rookies. Jackson is a quick blocker and handles speed rushers nicely. In a division with Khalil Mack, Za'Darius Smith, and potentially [Chase] Young, the Vikings will need that type of blocker.

Eric Edholm of Yahoo! Sports
March 3, 2020
The predicted pick: Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU
With Xavier Rhodes perhaps gone and Trae Waynes a free agent, this pick makes sense. Fulton's length will be challenged against the bigger NFC North receivers, but he compensates with good press-man technique and enough recovery speed. Still, Fulton is a second-round prospect for a lot of teams.

Josh Norris of Rotoworld
March 4, 2020
The predicted pick: Jaylon Johnson, CB, Utah
The Vikings defensive backfield should go through a massive change this offseason. Harrison Smith remains fantastic, maybe Mike Hughes turns it around. After that, complete question marks. We know Mike Zimmer trusts his own corner evaluations, maybe he'll find one in Johnson.
