NFL power rankings all over the map when it comes to Vikings

As lists and rankings have become standard off-season content (and click generators) in various sports, I’ve become more wary of what they tell us — or at least of what a single list tells us.

Any potential value, as I’ve referenced before, comes in the aggregation. Is there a general consensus that multiple flavors of the same kind of ranking can tell us? And if not, does that lack of consensus tell us anything?

In that sense, I’m more interested in this year’s offseason NFL power rankings than I maybe ought to be. Because in collecting them over the course of the last couple weeks post-draft, a theme seems to be emerging when it comes to the Vikings.
