There’s a lot of offseason left, but at the present time, the Vikings are just above average among NFL teams, according to an outlet.
NFL.com ranked Minnesota No. 14 in its power rankings. Here’s some of what it said about the ranking:
“It seemed like [Stefon] Diggs was never going to be happy in Minnesota, and the decision to extend quarterback Kirk Cousins essentially sealed Diggs’ fate in purple. So they flipped the playmaker to the Bills for four draft picks, including a first-rounder. That’s more than acceptable compensation for an excellent wideout who’s still probably a pace or two behind the true elites at his position. The win-now Vikings have 12 draft picks next month, including two in the first round at Nos. 22 and 25 overall. A Diggs replacement and a cornerback (or three) are on the menu.”
Diggs is a big loss, so it makes sense that the Vikings don’t look like the best team in the league at the present moment. But if Minnesota can draft well, 2020-21 won’t be a lost season.
