Five veteran Vikings impacted the most by the team’s 2017 draft class
By Adam Patrick
With another class of rookies coming in, which members of the Minnesota Vikings’ roster are now in danger of making the team?
Now that the 2017 NFL Draft has concluded, the Minnesota Vikings have an additional 11 players that will be competing for a spot on the team’s roster for the upcoming season. In this year’s draft class the Vikings added a running back, two offensive linemen, two wide receivers, a tight end, two defensive linemen, two linebackers, and a defensive back.
Of the position groups Minnesota added to this past weekend, many of them now consist of at least four players. When it comes time for the 2017 regular season, this amount of depth will have to be greatly reduced.
Which veteran players on the Vikings’ current roster are now in danger of seeing their playing time dramatically reduced this year or possibly not even making it to the regular season as a part of the team?
