Revenge Of The Birds Community Mock Draft: 30th Pick, Minnesota Vikings

With the 30th pick of the Revenge of the Birds community mock draft, the Minnesota Vikings select...

Brian Price | Defensive Tackle | UCLA

GM: toolman234

Strengths: After surprising some and leaving UCLA his junior year, Price will enter the draft as a potential top five defensive tackle. He has tremendous upside and his raw ability to could be turned into pure NFL talent. He's fast and beats lineman to the punch off of the snap. He has great hand and footwork and helps his teammates play better around him. Overall it's hard to pass up the pure skill that Price possesses. He's NFL-ready and his strength is ridiculous. A good defensive line coach could mold Price into a pro bowl caliber defensive tackle.

Weaknesses: At 6'2 300 pounds, Price may be better suited for the 4-3 defense. He'll stand upright too often and is stiff in the hips. He can be prone to double teams and doesn't have the bull-rushing power to drive offensive lineman backwards.

Why they will draft him: If the Minnesota Vikings have learned anything the last few years, it's that having dominant defensive tackles in a 4-3 defense improves a team dramatically. Pat Williams is approaching the end of his career and Price could fill in once he does. Price and Kevin Williams would keep the outstanding run defense that the Vikings have possessed for quite some time.
