Who are five offensive draft prospects the Minnesota Vikings should monitor closely during this week’s East-West Shrine Bowl?
With their 2019 season coming to an end with a loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round of the playoffs, the Minnesota Vikings now have to begin their offseason preparations. That starts this week with this year’s East-West Shrine Bowl game.
This game is primarily made up of second-tier NFL prospects who could be selected anywhere from the second round to undrafted. There has been plenty of quality NFL talent to come out of this game in the recent past and this year’s crop of players has a number of guys who could help out teams around the league in 2020.
The Vikings will undoubtedly send a contingent of scouts to St. Petersburg, Florida to get a first-hand look at some of these players this week. Minnesota will definitely be looking to fill holes on both sides of the ball, but we will just focus on the offense for now.
The Vikings’ offense, while looking dominant at times this season, does have some holes to fill. So let’s take a look at five offensive prospects participating in this year’s East-West Shrine Bowl game that Minnesota should watch closely.
