Despite the turnover this offseason, the Vikings are still in line to improve, according to NFL.com analysts Bucky Brooks and Daniel Jeremiah.
Brooks and Jeremiah reviewed whether each NFC North team will improve or get worse. Here’s what Brooks said about the Vikings, via the team’s official website:
“I think Dalvin Cook and Kirk Cousins will have big years. Gary Kubiak is one of the best in the business at calling plays. That stretch-bootleg system leads to a lot of explosive [plays].”
Jeremiah thinks “it’s all set up for Dalvin Cook in Gary Kubiak’s system to have a big year.” Here’s what else he said:
“This is a team that got a win in the postseason last year, but I actually think this team is going to be better,” Jeremiah said. “You look at Justin Jefferson, Jeff Gladney is another first-round pick and them [third-rounder] Cameron Dantzler has some ability.”
Here’s to hoping Jefferson, Gladney and Dantzler step up and the Vikings progress instead of regress.
