Most agree that the Minnesota Vikings had a successful 2020 NFL Draft, drafting 15 players, while also filling positions of need.
Going into the draft, the Vikings had plenty of work to do with so many familiar faces on other teams. It’s hard to say if the Vikings will be better in 2020 than they were in 2019, but given the hand GM Rick Spielman was dealt, he did pretty well.
Greg Hanzus over at NFL.com put together his post-draft power rankings and the Vikings jumped from 14 to 10.
The big challenge for the Vikings will be finding a playmaker to fill Stefon Diggs’ void, but Justin Jefferson seems like he can help take some pressure off Adam Thielen, and we’ll see about the addition of Tajae Sharpe. As for the new, and incredibly young secondary, it’s hard to get much worse than it was last season.
To round out the NFC North, the Packers rank eighth (down three spots from before the draft), the Bears rank 25th and the Lions rank 30th.
