The Vikings definitely have some glaring holes on their team, but there are some positions that they don’t have to address in the draft this season.

The Minnesota Vikings are entering a very crucial offseason and a draft that is key to their success in 2021. The team struggled to keep its quarterback upright last year, but they really had trouble on the defensive side of the ball.

The Vikings couldn’t stop the run, failed to pressure opposing quarterbacks, and their young secondary struggled to stick close to the receivers they were tasked to cover.

It was a complete mess that culminated in a 7-9 finish and had the team looking from the outside when it came to the playoffs. The Vikings have to fix these holes if they want to get back into the playoff picture this coming season.

While certain areas need to be addressed with new and younger faces, some positions on the team can stay at the status quo. This may be due to a player’s durability, or it has to do with the fact that the Vikings are getting certain players back from injury, and their return will give the team the boost they need.

So what are five positions that the Vikings don’t have to address in this year’s draft, whether there is a need there or not?
