ESPN's Jordan Reid connected the Vikings with Illinois defensive tackle Jer'Zhan Newton in his most recent mock, while the NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah recently selected Texas defensive tackle Byron Murphy II for them. Matching them with a defensive tackle makes sense in the abstract, but it should come with a disclaimer.
