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

The Minnesota Vikings didn’t have a lot of needs heading into the 2018 offseason, outside of quarterback. And they solved that by bringing aboard Kirk Cousins in free agency.

Protecting him now has to be the No. 1 priority for head coach Mike Zimmer and Co. Fortunately, there are a number of offensive linemen worth considering at the tail end of Round 1.

The choice here is UCLA offensive tackle Kolton Miller, who has been a steady riser up draft boards this offseason. Miller did a good job protecting Josh Rosen against some of the better pass-rushers in the Pac-12 last season, although Miller needs to add some bulk to his 309-pound frame to maintain effectiveness at the next level.

Should he do so, the Vikings will have a nice option at the position for the foreseeable future.
