Training camp is approaching for the Minnesota Vikings.

Soon 90 players on the Roster will be reduced to the last schedule of 53 people for the regular season. Before the training camp arrives, there is a prediction here for the Vikings depth graph that goes in autumn.

Vikings Depth card forecast

Quarterback (3)

QB1: JJ McCarthy
QB2: Sam Howell
QB3: Brett Rypien

It is a new era in Minnesota with JJ McCarthy on the fast track to the starting Quarterback track of the Vikings. In the meantime, Sam Howell is the newest recovery project by Kevin O’Connell in the position and Brett Rypien takes on the Emergency QB3 role.

Run back (4)

RB1: Aaron Jones
RB2: Jordan Mason
RB3: CJ Ham
RB4: Zavier Scott

Aaron Jones returns to the Vikings and will split the lion’s share of the Carry’s with Jordan Mason. CJ Ham remains as an ever-present player who can do a little bit of everything for Minnesota, and Zavier Scott hopes to get his very first snaps ever in a regular NFL game.

Wide recipient (6)

WR1: Justin Jefferson
WR2: Jordan Addison
WR3: Tai Felton
WR4: Jalen nailor
WR5: Rondale Moore
WR6: Tim Jones

The broad reception room of Minnesota will be a fierce battle for a limited number of schedules. It is clear that Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison Land land at the top of the Chamber, but a possible suspension for Jordan Addison could open new opportunities for Tai Felton and Jalen Nailor. Maybe Minnesota could hold a younger player like Lucky Jackson or Jeshaun Jones, but Rondale Moore has a track record of a productive player in an NFL attack, and Tim Jones is a fast player with whom Kevin O’Connell can become creative.

Tight end (3)

Te 1: TJ Hockenson
Te2: Josh Oliver
Te3: Gavin Bartholomew

It is a fairly simple result at the tight end. TJ Hockenson is an Elite Pass-Catch tight end and Josh Oliver has just a new extension with the team. Eventually Sixth-Round Pick Gavin Bartholomew grabs the third schedule spot after the departure of Johnny Mundt.

Attacking tackle (4)

LT: Christian Darrisaw
RT: Brian O’Neill
OT3: Justin Skule
OT4: Walter Rouse

Christian Darrisaw and Brian O’Neill combine to create one of the best attacking tackle tandems in the NFL, while newcomer Justin Skule arrives and takes a schedule for his versatility to play multiple positions on the offensive line. 2024 Sixth-Round Pick Walter Rouse grabs the last place in the hope of showing his capacities throughout the camp.

Interior offensive line (5)

LG: Donovan Jackson
C: Ryan Kelly
RG: Will Fries
IOL4: Blake Brandel
IOL5: Michael Jurgens

It is a brand new starting offensive line for the Minnesota Vikings with former Colts -height points Ryan Kelly and Will Fries who draw with the team. However, it did not stop there, because Kwesi Adofo-Mensah chose to use the first round of Minnesota on Donovan Jackson. Blake Brandel has a starter experience and should be the first lineman in reserve based on his versatility, and 2024 Seventh-round pick Michael Jurgens also remains around to be a back-up center.

Defensive Tackle (6)

DT1: Jonathan Allen
DT2: Harrison Phillips
DT3: Javon Hargrave
DT4: Jalen Redmond
DT5: Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
DT6: Takani Tagge

Just like the indoor line, Minnesota did their best to try to renew the defensive Tackle position in the Free Office. They brought in both Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave, who will be the new starters next to Harrison Phillips. Jalen Redmond showed a lot of promise in 2024, and he should have many opportunities to rotate in the defense, while the fifth round Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins and the solid Taki Taimani get the last two places.

Outside Linebacker (5)

OLB1: Jonathan Greenard
OLB2: Andrew van Ginkel
OLB3: Dallas Turner
OLB4: BO -director
OLB5: Gabriel Murphy

Jonathan Greenard and Andrew van Ginkel each handed in Pro Bowl seasons in 2024, which oppressed the number of options for 2024 first round pick Dallas Turner. It could be a similar situation in 2025, but Brian Flores will probably do his best to get Turner the most opportunities he can, so that the team can see what they have in the Alabama product. Former UDFAS Bo Richter and Gabriel Murphy grab the last two places.

Middle Linebacker (4)

MLB1: Blake Cashman
MLB2: Ivan Pace
MLB3: Eric Wilson
MLB4: Kobe King

Not many surprises here. In 2024, Blake Cashman and Ivan Pace turned out to be a dynamic Linebacker duo and they will retain the starting roles that retain injuries. Eric Wilson is a veteran who can contribute, and Rookie Kobe King hangs the last place.

Cornerback (6)

CB1: Byron Murphy
CB2: Isaiah Rodgers
CB3: Dwight Mcglothern
CB4: Mekhi Blackmon
CB5: Jeff Okudah
CB6: Zemaiah Vaughn

The cornerback fight of Minnesota is one of the most interesting positions of the selection on the way to the training camp. Byron Murphy is of course at the top, but after that it is a gamble at the moment. I have Rodgers and McGlothern who take the starting places to be physical corners that can keep on the outside.

Safety (4)

S1: Harrison Smith
S2: Josh Metellus
S3: according to Jackson
S4: Jay Ward

Harrison Smith and Josh Metellus stay on the Roster with Theo Jackson, who probably collects a greater role for the defense after Star Free Safety Camryn Bynum left in a free desk. Jay Ward stays around as depth and for special teams.

Specialists (3)

Kicker: Will Reichard
Punter: Ryan Wright:
Long Snapper: Andrew Depaola

No surprises here. The Vikings will go back with the same group of specialists as last year, unless there is something disastrous.
