The Minnesota Vikings are into the offseason with a weird mix of hope and sadness from the fanbase. Within the team facility, it is safe to say that everyone on the roster is ready to build off of a strong 2024 season.
While the team has shown they are on their way to the top of the NFC North again, what picks could tip the scales in favor of them in 2025?
Free agency was a hit for Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, but now he needs to work with hitting on his draft picks. Dallas Turner has started to turn a corner. J.J.
