With the draft complete and 12 undrafted free agents signed over the weekend, the Vikings’ roster is nearing capacity with 87 of the possible 90 spots allocated.



Given that, we figured we’d take our first stab at projecting what the team’s roster will look like after cutdown day at the beginning of September.

So for the sake of simplicity, we’re going to project a 53-man roster. Is this a fool’s errand in April, especially given the team may not step on the field together once until training camp? Perhaps. But it wouldn’t be my first.



Feel free to let me know in the comments all the places I’m wrong.
