Is it Too Early to be Optimistic About the Vikings Offensive Line?

The Vikings have (hopefully) completed a long and painfully slow rebuilding of their offensive line, which now features two first-round, two second-round, and one third-round draft pick as presumed starters. In theory, these five guys - Christian Darrisaw, Ezra Cleveland, Garrett Bradbury, Wyatt Davis, and Brian O’Neill - could be the Vikings starting offensive line for the better part of the next decade, given their youth and that offensive linemen careers can extend well into their 30s in some cases.

It’s comforting to think that this year’s additions to the Vikings offensive line- Christian Darrisaw and Wyatt Davis - will replace Riley Reiff at left tackle with a quality starter, and bump Dakota Dozier out of the starting lineup with a plug-and-play guard.
