• The Vikings Have Everything They Need In the Secondary
Something was missing from the Minnesota Vikings’ 2025 draft. Was it a backup quarterback? No, they addressed that by trading with the Seattle Seahawks for Sam Howell. Maybe they forgot to get a tight end after Johnny Mundt signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars. That’s not it either, because they nabbed Pittsburgh’s Gavin Bartholomew with their final pick....2025
