30. player. 60. . Offensive Tackle. UCLA. Kolton Miller

The Minnesota Vikings don’t need a lot of help this offseason, especially on defense, which means they can focus more on depth pieces and long-term investments.

Part of their NFL Draft efforts should focus on bulking up the offensive line, which already went through some modifications last offseason.

Still, there is room for more.

UCLA offensive tackle Kolton Miller might be something of an under-the-radar prospect, considering how bad his team’s O-line was in 2017. Yet the 6-foot-8, 310-pound Miller was one of the few bright spots here and has all the intangibles scouts want to see for a blindside blocker.

Pass protection? No problem. Run support? Equally as good.

As long as Miller has a strong NFL Scouting Combine, it wouldn’t be a shock to see him slip into the tail end of Round 1.
