5 Best First Round Draft Options For Vikings

Nov 29, 2014; Louisville, KY, USA; Louisville Cardinals wide receiver DeVante Parker (9) runs the ball against the Kentucky Wildcats during the second half at Papa John

DeVante Parker – WR – Louisville

Parker owns very similar size to White, at 6’3″ and roughly 210 pounds. Parker excels at going up in traffic and grabbing contested balls, using his height, length, and leaping ability effectively. Also, Parker is sneaky good at separating himself from defensive backs, which is, again, a valuable skill to have at the NFL level. An advantage that Parker has is that he played with Bridgewater at Louisville, and it’s likely that Bridgewater would be able to rebuild that chemistry quickly. Parker’s main weakness is that he is lean, which is something that can be improved easily. Parker is another candidate for the possible future “go-to” receiver for Bridgewater, and he possesses most of the skills necessary to fill that role.
