With the majority of their free-agent activity occurring on defense, will the Minnesota Vikings look to fill their offensive needs during the 2021 NFL Draft?

We already knew that fixing the defense was going to be a top priority for the Minnesota Vikings this year. With the Vikings’ defense having an underwhelming performance last season, head coach Mike Zimmer wasn’t about to let the unit struggle again in 2021.

So to improve the defense, Minnesota has signed several established veteran free agents this offseason, including Dalvin Tomlinson, Patrick Peterson, Xavier Woods, Mackensie Alexander, Nick Vigil, and Stephen Weatherly.
