As I said yesterday my favorite time of year in the NFL schedule is the time before the Draft and free agency. I’ve dubbed that time “The Pretendies”, and this season’s pretendies are perhaps the most impactful of any since I started covering the team for a living in 2015-16.
As we’ve seen today from the Green Bay Packers, the Kubiak style of offense can create a championship level offense. The Vikings and Packers had similar numbers in 2020, save for points-per-game, so that means that these pretendies are incredibly important.
The Vikings have one of the best skill-position rosters in the NFL, and with the right free agent or draft pick, could have the best roster period.
