A Minnesota Vikings 53-Man Roster Prediction: Spring Edition
At present, the Minnesota Vikings are in the infancy of the offseason competition. Kevin O’Connell may even bristle at the wording — competition — in favor of emphasizing the teaching phase of things. Possible coach quibbles aside, consider a way-too-early guess.
The Vikings’ are just getting started with the work at TCO Performance Center. Rookie minicamp is going to move into OTAs before then getting into June’s mandatory minicamp. Everything that these players do in these early portions of the offseason contribute to the overall evaluation. All eyes are on the quarterback battle, but consider a guess for the roster as a whole.
