Though it’s a little unfair for an outlet to rank the Vikings offseason before the draft, Bleacher Report doesn’t like what Minnesota has done so far.
The team has 12 picks this year, where it can possibly add some of the talent it lost this offseason. But as of now, Bleacher Report is giving the Vikings a D- in a recently updated offseason ranks.
This is a downgrade from the team receiving a C+ earlier in the offseason. Here’s what Bleacher Report had to say about the D- this time around:
“The reason this offseason was so rough for the Vikings is their defensive unit was decimated. Minnesota lost all of its top corners, its best pass-rusher in Griffen and a run-stuffing tackle in Joseph.
The Vikings defense ranked seventh in DVOA last year, but it looks ripe for major slippage after losing so many key pieces, and that will be especially true if the team ends up trading safety Anthony Harris.”
That, on top of the Kirk Cousins extension, and a variety of other factors, led Bleacher Report to not passing Minnesota.
