As exciting as it might be for the Minnesota Vikings to add another talented playmaker to their offense in the 2021 NFL Draft, improving their defense will likely be the team’s top priority when it comes to their early-round selections.
Minnesota’s defensive line is actually one of the position groups that needs the most help. The Vikings struggled to generate much of a pass rush in 2020, and stopping the run was far from a strength of the four guys up front.
With Minnesota not expected to have a ton of salary cap space this year, much of their roster improvements will probably come from their selections in the draft.
