Well, folks, it took quite a few pieces, but we’ve finally put together a full 53-man roster prediction. Keep in mind that all of this is occurring before training camp, so things will inevitably change. Every year, there are players who emerge that very few saw coming. My prediction will thus suffer from the unpredictability that makes sports so compelling. With all that said, take a look at the full pre-training camp Vikings roster prediction.

  • QB: Kirk Cousins & Kellen Mond.
  • RB: Dalvin Cook, Alexander Mattison, Kene Nwangwu, Ty Chandler, & C.J. Ham.
  • WR: Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen, K.J. Osborn, Ihmir Smith-Marsette, & Jalen Nailor.
  • TE: Irv Smith Jr. & Johnny Mundt.
  • OL: Christian Darrisaw, Ezra Cleveland, Garrett Bradbury, Chris Reed, Brian O’Neill, Blake Brandel, Oli Udoh, Jesse Davis, Wyatt Davis, & Ed Ingram.*
  • DT: Dalvin Tomlinson, Harrison Phillips, Armon Watts, & Jaylen Twyman.
  • DE: Esezi Otomewo & Jonathan Bullard.
  • OLB: Danielle Hunter, Za’Darius Smith, D.J. Wonnum, Patrick Jones II, & Luiji Vilain.
  • MLB: Eric Kendricks, Jordan Hicks, Brian Asamoah, Troy Dye, & Blake Lynch.
  • CB: Patrick Peterson, Cameron Dantzler, Andrew Booth Jr., Akayleb Evans, Nate Hairston, & Kris Boyd.
  • ST: Harrison Smith, Lewis Cine, Camryn Bynum, & Josh Metellus.
  • SP/T: Greg Joseph, Jordan Berry, & Andrew DePaola.

* I was a dweeb and mistakenly left Bradbury out of the final tally at the end of the original OL piece. I’m still keeping 10 offensive linemen. Vederian Lowe is removed from the list to make room for Bradbury. In the words of Homer Simpson, “d’oh!”
