With their playoff disappointment in San Francisco still leaving a sour taste in their mouth, attention is already turning to a critical offseason for the Minnesota Vikings.

After their loss in the playoffs to the San Francisco 49ers, many questions have reared their head regarding some more senior members of the Minnesota Vikings due to age and lack of productivity.

In addition, Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer is now looking for two new coordinators for his offense and defense to aid him going forward.

The decisions made between now and training camp will shape the direction of Minnesota moving forward. It is imperative that the Vikings draft well this year if they are to stand any hope of reaching the playoffs and regaining the NFC North title from the Green Bay Packers next season.

There will be plenty of talent available in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft when Minnesota makes their first selection with the 25th pick. Who are some names that are sure to warrant consideration should they impress during the evaluation process?
