00:00Last week, we talked about position groups 10 to 6 on the Minnesota Vikings, and today
00:05we are here to rank the top 5.
00:07Let's jump right into it.
00:11Minnesota Vikings have a really deep roster, and these top 5 position groups are excellent.
00:16Let's just get right into it.
00:18The 5th best position group on this team is defensive line.
00:22Yeah, the defensive line.
00:24They added Jonathan Allen.
00:25They added Javon Hargrave.
00:27Harrison Phillips got an extension in November of last year.
00:30This is a good, good unit.
00:32Is it a great one?
00:34I wouldn't call it great, but it's very good, and they have some depth to it.
00:40Jalen Redman played well last year in less than 300 snaps.
00:43Taki Taimani was the rotational nose tackle.
00:46Levi Drake Rodriguez looked like a really good player, and Tyrion Ingram Dawkins comes in as
00:50that hybrid guy.
00:52He's basically the new Jihad Ward.
00:54So this is a very talented group that can do a lot of different things for you.
00:59I'm really excited to see what this brings and how the NASCAR package gets impacted.
01:06Number 4 is tight end.
01:07Tight end is an interesting one.
01:09You have TJ Hawkinson, who's arguably a top 5 tight end in the NFL.
01:13You have Josh Oliver, who might be the best tight end 2 in the league with his ability
01:17to play like an offensive tackle.
01:19But then 3 is not Johnny Muntz anymore.
01:21It's going to be a rookie.
01:22You have him Bartholomew, Ben Urosek, or Bryson Nesbitt.
01:26One of those guys is going to take over.
01:28How good can this group be?
01:31I don't know.
01:32But I can tell you this much.
01:34Those top 2?
01:36Lethal.
01:37That's why they rank at number 4.
01:39Number 3?
01:40Edge Rusher.
01:42Jonathan Gennard.
01:43Andrew Van Ginkle.
01:44Both Pro Bowlers last year.
01:46And then on top of that, not only did they make the Pro Bowl, but then you also have
01:52Dallas Turner, who's a first-round pick.
01:54It's a really good top 3.
01:56And then edges 4, 5, and 6.
01:58You have some intriguing pieces.
02:01You've got Tierney Ingraham-Dawkins, who I mentioned earlier, who could play out on the
02:04edge.
02:05You have Bo Richter.
02:06You have Gabe Murphy.
02:07And then you have Tyler Batty.
02:09Chaz Chambliss.
02:10Some intriguing names that you get in undrafted free agency.
02:13Who's going to vie for that final roster spot?
02:16That's going to be a really fun battle to watch in the preseason.
02:19But with defensive tackles now that can rush the passer, NASCAR package might be gone for
02:23a while.
02:24And that'll make this group even stronger.
02:272?
02:27Yes, the offensive line is in the top 2.
02:30Can you believe it?
02:30It's been a long time since we've had an offensive line we've felt that strongly about.
02:35Once Christian Derrissau comes back healthy, the sky is the limit for this group.
02:38And when you have a quarterback like McCarthy who's capable of making very quick decisions
02:42and has that snappy release, things could get really interesting with the Minnesota Vikings
02:47offense.
02:48And you should be really excited about it.
02:50Speaking of offense, number one might be the position group that the Vikings are best
02:55at in their history.
02:56Well, maybe other than defensive line.
02:59Wide receiver.
03:00Justin Jefferson isn't just the best wide receiver in the National Football League.
03:03He might be its best player.
03:05He got the focus in the Madden trailer.
03:07Yes, Justin Jefferson was the focus at the beginning of the Madden 26 trailer.
03:13That's a big deal.
03:15You pair that with Jordan Addison, who's really good.
03:17Jalen Naylor looks like he could emerge as a really good wide receiver 3 and maybe price
03:20him out of Minnesota.
03:22Then you have intriguing options like Rondale Moore and Ty Felton.
03:25It's a really good roster.
03:26And receiver continues to highlight it.
03:30What do you think?
03:31How did we do?
03:34Do you have any disagreements on this?
03:35I'd love to hear them.
03:36Throw them in the comments.
03:38Because you know what?
03:39It's all subjective.
03:40That's what makes this fun.
03:42I'm Tyler Fronis with ADZ Sports.
03:44Skull Vikings.
03:45I don't know.
03:47I don't know.
03:48But there we are.
03:49We have a quick idea.
03:49I have to remember that.
03:50We used the corner or not.
03:51I have a cool idea.
03:52The four reasons.
03:53It's just I think you have to do this message on.
03:54Yeah, what do you have to do?
03:55Well, let's have the questions.
03:56Yeah.
03:57I do know.
03:57Let's do this on a crash.
03:59I see aì‚°'tir.
