Minnesota Vikings Undrafted Free Agents

As soon as the 2024 NFL Draft ended, the race was on to sign the players that weren’t selected. The race actually starts before the draft ends. The Minnesota Vikings are supplementing their draft class with a large undrafted free agent class. Perhaps inspired by the successes of Ivan Pace Jr. and NaJee Thompson last season, the Vikings signed 17 players that went undrafted.

There were many mock drafts in which I targeted Arkansas corner Dwight McGlothern and UCLA edge Gabriel Murphy in the mid rounds. In the real thing, the Vikings got both as undrafted free agents. I think both will challenge for roster spots. I’m also intrigued by Taki Taimani and Dallas Grant. Taimani is a 6’3” 330lb space-eater. The Vikings don’t have a player like that on the defensive line. They could really use a player like that on the defensive line. 

Other undrafted notables:

I like seeing another Cal player on the roster. Matt Cindric joins former Golden Bear teammate Cam Bynum in Minnesota.

It’s interesting to see a pair of Mercer receivers. The Vikings could use some receiver depth. In particular, they could use receiver depth from a player with return skills. 

The Vikings now roster two outside linebackers from military academies. Last year, Andre Carter was signed as an undrafted free agent out of Army. This year, Bo Richter was signed as an undrafted free agent out of Air Force. 

Best of luck to all of the new Minnesota Vikings.
