For the first time since Mike Zimmer became the team’s head coach in 2014, the primary focus of the Minnesota Vikings in this year’s NFL Draft appeared to be on making significant improvements to their offense.
Each of the Vikings’ first four 2019 draft selections were spent on offensive players and Zimmer didn’t even really seem to have a problem with his team’s decision to do this.
Obviously, Minnesota’s head coach would have loved to select at least one defensive player with the team’s first four picks this year. But Zimmer also knows that his fate with the Vikings likely rests on how well the offense is able to perform in 2019.
