Sunday slant: The most valuable?

The Vikings are stockpiling defensive talent, making it difficult to choose which defender is the best among them.

The Minnesota Vikings defense had a breakthrough in 2015 not seen in these parts in some time, claiming the No. 5 defense in points allowed. Just years prior, the year before Mike Zimmer took over as head coach, the Vikings had given up the most points per game – 30 – in the league. Last year, it was just under 19 points per game.

Yet, one man after another, the Vikings’ defenders claim there is plenty to improve upon for 2016, and, of course, they are right.
