Minnesota Vikings Free Agency Grade and Review

Contributor: Ryan Rust, mvn.com/nfl-vikings

Team Needs: WR, DE, QB, S

Key additions: Madieu Williams (S - Bengals), Bernard Berrian (WR - Bears), Thomas Tapeh (FB - Eagles)

Key Losses: Tony Richardson (FB), Dwight Smith (S), Mewelde Moore (RB)

Key Free Agents Retained: Robert Ferguson (WR), Heath Farwell (LB)

Free Agency Notes: The Vikings made a splash early in the free agency by acquiring both Madieu Williams and Bernard Berrian. Both Williams and Berrian bolster weaknesses in the Vikings roster and are quality additions. (Even if the Vikings did overpay, slightly.) Tapeh provides a suitable replacement for the departed Tony Richardson. The Vikings also made a wise decision to re-sign Heath Farwell, a cornerstone of their special teams packages. Since they failed to address DE through free agency, look for the Vikings to draft DE early again this season.

Grade: B-
