19. Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings are one of the sleeper teams of 2015. They are much more complete than most fans would think. Teddy Bridgewater is a breakout candidate with the newly acquired Mike Wallace now catching passes. He was highly underrated coming out of the 2014 draft and most scouts were selling him short.

The Vikings are most likely drafting a receiver in the first round, adding to the Bridgewater’s arsenal. They have playmakers all over the field, including Matt Asiata, Jerrick McKinnon, Jarius Wright, and Kyle Rudolph.

Even if the rumors are true and Peterson gets traded, the Vikings are still set up for success. If Peterson stays, that will probably be the difference maker in a possible playoff run.

The Vikings need to add more playmakers on the defensive side of the ball. They have some nice defensive lineman to work with, but need to work on their shaky secondary.
