EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) – Leslie Frazier has dreamed for years about one day stepping into an NFL draft room as a head coach.
He may be getting a little more than he bargained for in his first crack at it with the Minnesota Vikings.
The Vikings have the 12th overall pick in the first round Thursday night. But this year’s draft is different from any other. Labor strife and a lockout have prevented teams from addressing needs via trade or free agency.
That means that the onus is even greater on the rookies to be contributors sooner rather than later. That puts a lot of pressure on them, and the people who select them.
Frazier says he is excited for the challenge and is confident he is ready for it.
