What a strong NFC North draft means for the Vikings

As the dust settles from the NFL draft and with a slate of rookies coming in for minicamp Friday, the Minnesota Vikings will take their first step toward incorporating these new players onto a veteran-laded team.

The Vikings earned a B grade from ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper for their rookie haul, focusing their efforts on adding youth to their No. 1 defense and making depth additions on the offensive line.

As the Vikings prepare for another run to the Super Bowl armed with one of the best rosters in the NFC, it’s not just early-season favorites Philadelphia, New Orleans and the Los Angeles Rams aiming to stand in their way.
