Fifteen years after the Vikings used the first-round pick they acquired by trading receiver Randy Moss on receiver Troy Williamson, the Vikings used the first-round pick they acquired by trading receiver Stefon Diggs on a receiver.
The Vikings have taken LSU receiver Justin Jefferson with the 22nd pick in the 2020 draft.
Jefferson will be expected to make an immediate impact, given that Diggs’ departure leaves a gaping hole in the starting lineup.
In his final year at LSU, Jefferson had 111 catches for 1,540 yards and 18 touchdowns.
