The NFL offseason has mostly come and gone, and with it comes a new batch of power rankings for everyone to enjoy. The latest is from Touchdown Wire's Jarrett Bailey, who broke down all 32 teams and their standings following free agency and trades throughout the league.
As for where the Vikings land in his power rankings, they find themselves still firmly in the top 10 with a strong placement at number nine. Coming off a 14-3 season, they could be expected to be higher but some things are holding that back from happening.
Bailey explains his reasoning for the number nine rankings, writing, "I don't know how good J.J. McCarthy is going to be, but I know Kevin O'Connell is a top-five coach in the NFL. After what he was able to do with Sam Darnold, as long as McCarthy isn't Nate Peterman, the Vikings will be good."
McCarthy is going to be the key to the entire season in 2025 and beyond. This roster is built to win now, that isn't up for discussion. What is, though, is whether McCarthy can be a step up from what they got out of Sam Darnold last year.
Time will tell, but he has some surprinsgly big shoes to fill.
