The Vikings could be in the market for a tackle in the offseason.
Whether that’s cutting Riley Reiff and having an opening there, or just adding depth at tackle and free agency, there are many different ways the Vikings can go about it.
If Minnesota chooses to find talent in the draft, head coach Mike Zimmer is a fan of the tackles in the 2020 draft class.
“I think the tackles are pretty good. I think the guards maybe dropped off a little bit from last year,” Zimmer told reporters at the NFL Combine. “We’re just starting to process. We’re going to try and figure out what’s the best for us.”
Zimmer not being high on the class of guards this year might be bad news for a team that gave up pressure in the interior of the offensive line, especially in Week 16 against Green Bay. However, tackle is still a position Minnesota will need to fill. And the class might not be good, but the Vikings could still find a guard to fill out a platoon role.
