Way-too-early 53-man roster prediction for the Vikings

We get it. It’s early, but here some predictions about what the 53-man Vikings roster could look like.

Wide receiver: Adam Thielen, Justin Jefferson, Bisi Johnson, Tajae Sharpe, Chad Beebe, Quartney Davis, K.J. Osborn*

Analysis: It will be a big task to replace Stefon Diggs. The Vikings traded Diggs away to the Bills for draft picks. The team drafted a wide receiver with one of the picks it received from the Bills: LSU wideout Jefferson. He can come in and take the wide receiver two spot.

After that, it’s up in the air. I think Johnson could take the wide receiver three position, barely beating out Sharpe. Davis barely makes the roster, and Osborn is more of a special teams player. I went a little heavy with the wide receivers on this one, taking seven, but Osborn has another role in this scenario and it will take a group to replace Diggs.
