The 2025 NFL Draft is still months away, and the Vikings are surprising everyone by looking like they could be one of the best teams in the entire NFC, not just the North. Still, there are some positions that need to add some depth elements.
The team's position needs early in the season include a defensive lineman, a cornerback and possibly a wide receiver or running back.
To the Vikings' benefit, these positions have more depth than usual in the upcoming draft cycle. The team could easily find starters at various draft spots and rounds to fill this need. Instead, we will be using the draft order for Monday Night Football. We'll use those too to make the selection and utilize their player pool.
Let the fun begin as we build this roster to get closer to one of the best in the NFL.
