At long last, the 2024 NFL Draft is complete.

The end result is a roster hierarchy that has experienced some notable change. The Vikings’ post-draft depth chart is showing the signs of a youthful infusion of talent. Most notably, there is the J.J. McCarthy addition, but that’s just a single name.

Minnesota’s next two picks went toward defense. First up was pass rusher Dallas Turner, who arrived in Minnesota courtesy of pick No. 17. And then there was corner Khyree Jackson, who arrived in Minnesota courtesy of pick No. 108.

The fun didn’t end there, though.

The Vikings went on to draft four more players. There was an effort to bring in some reinforcements for the offensive line, as evidenced by the two additions. And then there was someone for the defensive line and there was even a specialist. Add it all together and we’re talking about a seven-person draft class.
