With all the acquisitions the Minnesota Vikings have made, have they still not solved the biggest problem? For years everyone has known that the Vikings’ biggest issue was their offensive line. Although they have addressed that in the draft, could they have addressed it in free agency rather than relying on rookies to solve their issues?

The Minnesota Vikings dedicated all their energy and resources this offseason during free agency to make sure that they have a good defense. They have certainly achieved that. The Vikings have created one of the best if not the best defense in the entire league. Throughout the entire camp, every report that came out including during the joint practices with Denver was about how to dominate the Viking’s defensive line was.

Cause for Concern?

Wyatt Davis was a durable and reliable guard for the Buckeyes. He started 24 straight games in his final 3 seasons and earned First-Team All American honors in 2019 and 2020 for his play at right guard. Davis ended his time at Ohio State as a team captain who was the first guard in program history to win the Big 10 Offensive Lineman of the Year Award.

Verdict?

The Vikings did not make the playoffs last season but the way they have maneuvered this offseason, and the additions they have made have put them right into contention in the NFC. The Vikings have addressed their biggest issues on defense and in theory, have done the same on offense also. A healthy Minnesota Vikings will be very difficult to deal with, no matter what team you are.
