5 biggest Vikings needs after the first wave of free agency in 2023

What are the biggest remaining needs of the Minnesota Vikings after the signings they’ve made during the first wave of 2023 free agency?

Minnesota Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah has been very busy since the legal tampering period began last Monday.

The Vikings released some big named players and also signed some new faces. Minnesota also brought back plenty of familiar faces, as players like Alexander Mattison, Oli Udoh, Garrett Bradbury, and even Austin Scholttmann are all coming back for at least one more season in purple.

The Vikings have addressed plenty of need areas so far in free agency. They brought in a potential new No. 1 cornerback, found an edge rusher in Marcus Davenport, and solidified their offensive line.

While those positions are shored up, there are still a handful of position groups that need either a starter or could just use some more quality depth.

Minnesota could still look to address these needs in the next few weeks of free agency. It is more likely they wait and address them in this year’s NFL Draft, as they are quickly running out of cap space.

Here are the Vikings’ biggest needs after the first week of free agency, in order of least to greatest.
