If Adrian Peterson didn’t get the message before that the Vikings have no interest in cutting or trading him, he should have a look at what the team did this weekend in the draft and undrafted free agency. Or, more to the point, what they didn’t do.
The Vikes made 10 selections in the seven rounds of the draft, then picked up 10 undrafted free agents. And not a single one of those 20 players is a running back.
Despite showing interest in several backs during the pre-draft process, including the Gophers’ David Cobb, the Vikings left that position totally unaddressed over the three day player selection bonanza.
