Projecting The Minnesota Vikings Depth Chart
K. Joudry
|
The 2022 NFL Draft is in the books. Minnesota made ten selections, a hearty total all things considered. It’s time to let the purple speculation begin, with perhaps the foremost topic of interest being who will slot in where in the lineup.
Below, you’ll find my best stab at the depth chart, doing my best to estimate what the team would look like if they had to play a game tomorrow. I’ve put the rookie draft pick names in bold. Shout out to the ESPN Vikings depth chart for reminding me of a few names I likely would have forgotten.
