Bringing talent aboard during the NFL Draft must be a bit unnerving for Vikings veterans (and, more broadly, players around the league). NFL athletes get a lot of perks with their job, but job security isn’t among them.
Since the event ended, there has been a fair bit of speculation about who could be in or out in Minnesota. In some instances, the message can be pretty clear. If, for instance, the Vikings had hopped up for Bijan Robinson, then we’d be staring down a 99.9% certainty that Dalvin Cook would indeed be heading elsewhere.
In other instances, though, the ramifications of draft picks aren’t quite as clear.
