5 bold predictions for the Vikings at the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine
By Chris Schad
The Minnesota Vikings are in a period of change, but how will that translate with what happens at this week’s NFL Scouting Combine?
The foundation on which the Minnesota Vikings have built their success has started to crumble in the past weeks. With a recent report suggesting that a purge is imminent and Everson Griffen opting out of his contract last week, it feels like the Vikings are truly in a stage of transition as they head further into the offseason.
With several players that could be filling out change of address forms, Minnesota needs to find a way to rebuild on the fly as they still have win-now talent that can make a Super Bowl run.
As the Vikings sit roughly $1.3 million under the salary cap after Griffen’s decision, the most logical way for them to reload is through the NFL Draft and the process of finding the right talent begins during this week’s NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
This year’s draft class has plenty of high-end talent and with Minnesota needing some, we figured that it would be a good time to look at which stories could dominate the Combine and how they can affect the Vikings’ offseason moving forward. With the drills being broadcast in primetime this week, here’s a preview of how things could go.
