Following the conclusion of the NFL draft and college free agency, the Vikings’ 90-man Roster is now more or less set for the third phase of the spring offseason program.
Rookie minicamp is this weekend, which could lead to a couple changes at the back end of the roster, and there are still some veteran free agents who could interest the Vikings as well.
With OTAs beginning in two weeks, this feels like a good time to take stock of Minnesota’s post-draft situation with an early 53-man roster and depth chart projection.
For now, I’m operating under the assumption that Darnold will be the Vikings’ Week 1 starter.
He obviously has the experience edge against McCarthy, and you get the sense that people in the building are high on Darnold’s potential to have a career revival in Kevin O’Connell’s offense.
McCarthy will have a real opportunity to earn the job right away, but the safe bet is that he doesn’t take over until midseason or later.
Mullens is a possible trade candidate, which might be the only way Hall makes the team.
The second-year player out of BYU should at least stick around on the practice squad, though.
The Vikings didn’t add a single rookie running back to their roster, which suggests they’re satisfied with Jones and Chandler handling all of the work in their backfield.
If not for the new kickoff rules, I might’ve been prepared to leave Nwangwu off the roster, but he should have some value this year.
