NFC North: Minnesota Vikings

Usually when a team loses their offensive coordinator and a top playmaker on offense, their offseason is considered a disaster. That wasn’t the case for the Minnesota Vikings, who still found a way to improve even with some big losses this year.

Kevin Stefanski is gone as he now serves as the head coach with the Cleveland Browns but now they just turn things over to Gary Kubiak, a former Super Bowl-winning head coach. Last season, Kubiak worked as the assistant head coach and offensive advisor last season with Stefanski, meaning their offense will hardly miss a beat.

As for Stefon Diggs, who they traded to the Buffalo Bills for a first-round pick, they were able to find someone to fill in with Justin Jefferson. While it’s safe to say that Diggs is a better player, Jefferson comes in without the baggage and high price tag that Diggs had last season.

They also found a good replacement for Trae Waynes and Xavier Rhodes, by landing Jeff Gladney with their other first-round pick. Cameron Dantzler was also picked up in the draft and he should be an improvement over Mackensie Alexander, who never lived up to his promise with them.

Ezra Cleveland was another addition in the drat that could be a steal as he has the makings of a starting left tackle in the NFL. Overall, there were a lot of wins for the Vikings this offseason.
