Now that the cuts are in and the 53-man roster has been announced, how does each position stack up for the Minnesota Vikings entering the 2018 NFL season?

It’s that time of year where many players hoping to continue their dreams of playing in the National Football League are nervous. Teams like the Minnesota Vikings always have a hard time narrowing their roster to 53 players…and nobody is safe, not even the team’s veterans.

The team announced their official 53 man roster for the 2018 NFL season on their official website, but what they didn’t explain is how the cuts shaped the team and what the current depth and how the talent looks at each position.

With some surprising veterans from the preseason not ending up on the team’s roster as well as some fan-favorite youngsters being given opportunities, the roster is both exciting and frustrating at the same time.

Let’s dive into each position grouping for the Minnesota Vikings to talk about the players included and where they stand entering the 2018 NFL season.
