The Vikings Depth Chart as March Marches Toward April

NFL: Los Angeles Rams at Minnesota Vikings
Jeffrey Becker-USA TODAY Sports

The Vikings depth chart is a work in progress.

Free agency keeps marching forward and the NFL Draft is just over a month away. As a result, things are going to change quite a bit between now and the arrival of games in September.

Nevertheless, we’re offering up a brief glance at how things are looking. Is it an ironclad representation of how the coaching staff feels about the team’s player hierarchy? By no means, and yet it does offer an informed opinion of the roster. Keep in mind, folks, that we’re discussing a moving target. Cuts, trades, draft picks, injuries, and other factors can (and will) impact the way the depth chart looks.

With the brief word of caution out of the way, the Vikings depth chart.

Editor’s Note: Over the Cap indicates that the Vikings have 65 players under contract. However, Troy Reeder hasn’t been added to the list yet (perhaps because his contract details aren’t known). The roster list on the Vikings’ website provides another angle, including the aforementioned player who isn’t included.
