Summer is here, and it is everyone's favorite time of the year, scouting time. Every year, we do Summer Scouting to preview college football for Vikings fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Minnesota .
Are we going to write about quarterbacks? Offensive tackles? Edge rushers? You know it, but why? Because other NFL teams will draft them, just as they will draft every other position. It all matters whether these players end up on the Vikings, the Bears , or the Steelers . We write these so Vikings fans can be the most informed fans.
So if you are still with us, enjoy our latest Summer Scouting report as we prepare you for the Fall.

Clev Lubin is a very fun edge rusher prospect during a time when the position has never been more important. He plays the position well from the standup role, as it allows him to showcase his hips and footwork in coverage, as well as how much momentum he can build up when rushing the passer. He is going to be a very fun prospect to watch throughout the fall and through the draft process. If he became a top-end of the first round pick, it wouldn't surprise me.
