After Justin Jefferson and Christian Darrisaw, this ranking could go in dozens of different directions. The Mike Zimmer-Rick Spielman regime did the Kevin O’Connell-Kwesi Adofo-Mensah a huge favor with Jefferson and Darrisaw. Those two players are the team’s franchise cornerstone players of the present and foreseeable future.

Safeties Joshua Metellus and Harrison Smith and right tackle Brian O’Neill are also gifts from the previous regime. 

 Placing quarterback J.J. McCarthy in the middle of this list is hopeful. He’s yet to take a regular snap for the Vikings but all my expectations for the kid are sky high. I believe that will be higher than #10 on next year’s list. 

McCarthy is one of six players in this ranking that has yet to take a regular season snap for the Vikings.

Jonathan Allen

Isaiah Rodgers

Ryan Kelly

Will Fries

Another player that just missed this list is running back Jordan Mason. The offseason trade with the San Francisco 49ers to add Mason might be the underrated move of the offseason. 

Can’t wait for training camp. One. More. Week.
