Projecting the Minnesota Vikings final 2018 roster: Post-draft edition
By Adam Carlson
Running backs (4)
Cook should be ready to roll by the time the regular season rolls around. He was impressive before his injury last season, giving hope that he can return to that kind of form during the team’s 2018 NFL campaign.
Taking a pay cut to stay with the team, Murray did an admirable job holding down ship after Cook went down. He should be a great, bruising complement to the elusiveness of the team’s starting rusher.
Mack Brown will need to beat out undrafted free agent Roc Thomas to earn the RB3 spot, but that should happen. Brown has some great tape from his preseason appearances as well as familiarity with Kirk Cousins that should give him the nod.
Duluth, Minnesota native C.J. Ham will return as the team’s fullback to block and maybe carry the ball in some short yardage situations. With no real competition in camp, he’s got a pretty clear track to the 53.
