Despite winning the NFC North last season, the Minnesota Vikings have a few major holes on their roster to fill. A majority of those holes are on the defensive side of the ball, where the team was abysmal during the 2022 campaign.
Minnesota ranked 28th in points allowed and 31st in yardage allowed, which led to them having a negative point differential despite going 13-4 in the regular season. So, it would make sense that the team would target some help on that side of the ball, especially in the secondary.
Alas, the Vikings ended up going offense with their first-round pick. With the No. 23 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Minnesota selected USC wide receiver Jordan Addison. Wide receiver was another major need for the team after they released veteran Adam Thielen earlier this offseason.
