Power Rankings are a lot of fun. Seeing how experts compare teams like the Minnesota Vikings to other franchises can give a good feel of how it is expected the team will perform and who the team should be looking out for during the season.
ESPN puts a spin on the power ranking idea by doing their Future Power Rankings, where they look at the next three seasons and rank the team in five categories: quarterback, overall roster, draft skills, front office, and coaching.
Recently, ESPN released their rankings for this year behind their INsider paywall and thankfully the Minnesota Vikings fared very well.
