Heading into the 2023 season, the Vikings have a few players ready to step up a level.
In 2022, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and Kevin O’Connell went into a draft as general manager and head coach for the first time. In an ideal world, several rookies would have made a significant impact in Year 1, and everyone would be calling their first draft a great success.
We don’t live in an ideal world.
However, one year is too early to call players and a draft a bust. Not many players come into the league and take it by storm as Justin Jefferson did.
