Veteran Harrison Smith decided to return for his 14th season, but the Vikings need to start grooming Smith’s heir apparent. Emmanwori is regarded as the top safety in the draft. His 88 tackles led South Carolina last season. He also produced four interceptions.

Nate Tice and Charles McDonald's eighth (!) and penultimate mock draft of this cycle is here, with the Raiders, Jets and Cowboys adding offensive firepower, while the back half of the top 10 is chock full of risers.

Top prospects Cam Ward, Travis Hunter and Abdul Carter will attend next week’s NFL draft in person. The league announced that 17 players have been confirmed to attend the draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
