Lombardi: Vikings will draft a left tackle
Charlie Johnson - T - Minnesota Vikings
Feb. 9, 2012 - 11:45 AM ET
NFL Network's Mike Lombardi fully expects the Vikings to draft a left tackle with the No. 3 overall pick.
"They're not gonna go back with Charlie Johnson at left tackle," Lombardi insisted. "They'll pass on a receiver in order to get the left tackle. They can't block anybody." Christian Ponder has been oft-injured dating back to college, and the Vikings are well positioned to get Matt Kalil or Riley Reiff, the latter of whom is Mike Mayock's top-rated left tackle for 2012. Lombardi points out that Jeff Fisher and Mike Shanahan are "very close," and if there is a trade in the top five, he expects it to involve the Redskins and the Rams.
