There are some question marks for the Vikings at offensive line and cornerback, but Bleacher Report still predicted that the team will have a winning record.
The outlet tabbed Minnesota to finish 10-6 in 2020. Yes, Stefon Diggs is gone and yes, there are a lot of rookies who need to step up. But the team also made a splash in the trade market recently.
Here’s what Bleacher Report said about Yannick Ngakoue:
“Over the weekend, the Vikings acquired defensive end Yannick Ngakoue in exchange for a 2021 second-round pick and a conditional 2022 fifth-round pick, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. He’ll compensate for the loss of Everson Griffen.”
Bleacher Report acknowledged that the Vikings “may go through early growing pains before their new starters find their way” but also said that Minnesota will “finish strong.”
After a mass exodus in free agency, this is a relatively young Minnesota team. Vikings fans will have to see which rookies are quick learners.
