Press release from Vikings Territory:

Earlier, Dustin and Wes published their projection for the 53-man Vikings roster. For the most part, I think they nailed it. I do have some disagreements, though. Instead of writing out my own full list, I’ll merely highlight the discrepancies. For a refresher, hop over to their projection on either Purple PTSD or Vikings Territory.

RB: My one quibble is with A.J. Rose making the team. I find it hard to believe they’ll keep him even after all of the positives he showed during the preseason. There’s just too much talent at that position. I expect them to try to keep him on the practice squad.

WR: They believe Dede will stick around as the WR6. I’ve already written about how I don’t think it makes a lot of sense to keep him, so my roster projection has him cut. The Vikes start with 5 receivers.

OL: I think they nailed this one. As much as fans will hate it, Dakota Dozier is probably on this team.

LB: I think Blake Lynch finds his way onto this team. He had some nice snaps throughout the preseason. Put me down for Lynch over Connelly. I cut an extra player from offense, so perhaps I’ll use that extra spot on Lynch.

Have your own opinion? Let us hear about it.
