The Complete Vikings 90-Man Offseason Depth Chart

At long last, a complete Vikings depth chart.
In March and April, things move at breakneck speed. Like a barista flinging caffeine cups, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah was tossing new players across the counter. The frenzy portion of free agency was alive and well in Minnesota, with guys like Jonathan Greenard, Andrew Van Ginkel, Sam Darnold, Aaron Jones, Blake Cashman, and Shaq Griffin highlighting the incoming batch of FA talent.
The 2024 NFL Draft was a much-hyped event — as per usual — but the trend was especially prominent in Minnesota since Kirk Cousins took off. In the end, the hype was basically justified.
Minnesota made their move for a young passer, snagging J.J. McCarthy after a modest move up the board. But then there was the aggressive effort to land Dallas Turner, someone who likely should have been scooped up prior to No. 17. Five more players joined those two and then seventeen UDFAs. Tip of the cap to PFF for helping me to delineate where the offensive linemen may line up.
Consider how things can look once we place the roster in a hierarchy.
