Vikings Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

No matter what happens, they're in prime position to fill a glaring need, or needs, that will make them a better team immediately. Whether it's Southern Cal left tackle Matt Kalil, Oklahoma State receiver Justin Blackmon or a trade down for more picks, the Vikings will be overjoyed and still holding potentially nine or more picks coming out of the first round.

Cornerback is the team's No. 1 priority, but that's not a position that's typically filled with a top-three pick. So look for them to fill another big need at a position, left tackle, that typically dominates the top of the first round.

If the Rams snag Kalil at...
