The Minnesota Vikings selected guard Wyatt Davis out of Ohio State 88th overall in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
Davis is the Vikings' second notable offensive line addition in this year's draft. Minnesota also selected tackle Christian Darrisaw on Thursday.
The 22-year-old earned first-team All-Big Ten nods in each of the last two seasons.
Minnesota ranked 20th in the NFL with 39 sacks allowed in 2020.
Draft profile
Ideal position: Guard
Davis is your classic high-floor, low-ceiling prospect. Following a successful collegiate career, the former Buckeye heads to the pros with an ideal blend of physicality, balance, and hand usage. Davis' biggest weakness comes in the mental aspect of the game, which is somewhat concerning considering he started two-plus years in the Big Ten. He was late identifying blitzes and often had difficulty making impact plays at the second level. Processing aside, Davis is a solid guard prospect who profiles as an early-career starter in the NFL. We just wish he dominated more in 2020 with his physical tools.
