4 takeaways from Kevin O’Connell’s 2023 NFL Combine press conference

Finding explosive weapons

Of course, at this point, both Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and Kevin O’Connell have stressed the culture the Minnesota Vikings are trying to build but good character alone doesn’t move the chains on offense or stop opposing teams on third down..

in a statement that seemed obvious, O’Connell said the Minnesota Vikings are seeking explosive players in free agency and the draft and although that’s not a surprise, it does say a little about the upcoming draft.

The Vikings only own four selections in the 2023 NFL Draft at the moment, urging the question of whether Minnesota will play it safe or if they will swing for the fences with their limited picks this year.

From the sound of things, the Minnesota Vikings will be calculated but not super aggressive in the players they select. With their limited salary cap, hitting on draft picks is more important than ever as the team prepares for the future.
