What have been the seven absolute best decisions made by the Minnesota Vikings during the 2018 offseason?

It really has been an offseason like no other for the Minnesota Vikings this year. One full of changes and new additions that the Vikings hope will lead to a championship in the near future.

Since they spent a ton of money on wide receiver Greg Jennings in 2013, Minnesota has not really been a team to go after the big-name players in free agency each year. But this was certainly not the case for this offseason.

This year, the Vikings fully guaranteed more than $90 million to players in free agency. Easily much higher than any amount Minnesota had given out in the past.

In addition to their moves in free agency this offseason, the Vikings re-signed a number of key contributors, added more talent in the NFL Draft, extended the contract of one of their best young players, and hired a highly sought-after coach to lead their offense in 2018.

So of all the decisions Minnesota has made this offseason, which seven moves stood out from the rest as the absolute best?
