The NFL draft is almost here. There's just over a week left for teams to finalize boards and make preparations for what will be an enthralling three days next Thursday through Saturday.

This is the final week for teams to host prospects on official visits at their facilities. These visits, which have been going on for the last few weeks, are a valuable part of the pre-draft evaluation process. They give executives and coaches and scouts the chance to meet with various players and also put them through medical evaluations.

Last year, three of the Vikings' six draft picks — Jordan Addison, Mekhi Blackmon, and DeWayne McBride — had gone on official visits to Minnesota in the pre-draft process.

With that in mind, here's an updated list of all of the prospects who have reportedly visited the Vikings this year.

Toledo CB Quinyon Mitchell

Alabama EDGE Dallas Turner
