The Minnesota Vikings are facing a conundrum at cornerback. Starters Camryn Bynum and Stephon Gilmore and backup Shaquill Griffin will be free agents. And Brian Flores will not want a drought at the position with only Mekhi Blackmon being starter-worthy.

He already has a "Swiss Army knife" at safety in Josh Metellus; so who will stop him from wanting another in Barron? Offenses around the league will have to successfully gameplan around defeating a pair of do-it-all players if they want to accumulate yards.
