Minnesota Vikings Starter Guesses

 Despite not having seen any Minnesota Vikings' football players, new and old, on a field this summer, here's a swing at the starting lineup when the Green Bay Packers come to town next month. 

Offense

WR Adam Thielen
LT Riley Reiff
LG Ezra Cleveland
C Garrett Bradbury
RG Dru Samia
RT Brian O'Neill
TE Kyle Rudolph
WR Justin Jefferson
QB Kirk Cousins
RB Dalvin Cook
FB C.J. Ham

Defense-Base

LE Ifeadi Odenigbo
DT Armon Watts
NT Jaleel Johnson
RE Danielle Hunter
LB Anthony Barr
LB Eric Kendricks
LB Eric Wilson
CB Mike Hughes
CB Jeff Galdney
S Harrison Smith
S Anthony Harris

Defense-Nickel

DE Ifeadi Odenigbo
DT Armon Watts
NT Jaleel Johnson
DE Danielle Hunter
LB Anthony Barr
LB Eric Kendricks
NB Mike Hughes
CB Hoton Hill
CB Jeff Galdney
S Harrison Smith
S Anthony Harris

I get the feeling that Vikings' defensive coaches see Armon Watts at nose tackle. Maybe that's only as a starting point for the emerging second-year defensive tackle. Defensive coordinator/defensive line coach Andre Patterson did say last week that they want their interior defensive lineman to be versatile and play both tackle spots. With no real proof, I like the interior combo of Watts and Jaleel Johnson. 

Specialists

K Dan Bailey
P Britton Colquitt
LS Austin Cutting
KR K.J. Osborn
PR K.J. Osborn

I can't wait to see all of the Vikings players on a football field. Starters, non-starters, the whole team.
