I wouldn't say that, but others are.
The fun part following the draft is projecting each team and how the class will do in the NFL, while predicting how many games teams will win and where they rank out of 32 teams. NFL power rankings are all the rage right now, with the lull in NFL news. Free agency signings and a draft class are enough to decipher who will make the 53-man roster, potentially start, and put players on the roster bubble.
Where do the Minnesota Vikings rank in the post-draft NFL power rankings?
Bleacher Report: Minnesota sits at #23
"We can talk about what the Minnesota Vikings did in free agency, even if they made only one truly major addition.
We can also talk about how a team still operating without a permanent general manager went all-in on defense in the draft, using four of its picks over the first two days to fortify a unit that ranked third in the league last season—headlined by first-round defensive tackle Caleb Banks.
But whether or not the Vikings climb out of the NFC North basement in 2026 is going to come down to how that one major free-agent addition pans out.
The Vikings will no doubt talk up a quarterback competition this summer, but it will be an upset if Kyler Murray isn't the starter in Week 1 over J.J. McCarthy.
The question then becomes whether Kevin O'Connell can highlight Murray's strengths and get the 2019 first overall pick playing like the signal-caller who made two Pro Bowls earlier in his career.
If O'Connell can do that, this team could be dangerous."

"Getting Kyler Murray to compete with J.J. McCarthy -- OK, Murray will be the starter -- was their best move. They added some defensive pieces in the draft that were needed too."
Pete Prisco of CBS Sports has Minnesota sandwiched in between the Detroit Lions and Indianapolis Colts, who will have Daniel Jones as their signal-caller for the foreseeable future.

Super Bowl odds: +5500
Trading away edge rusher Jonathan Greenard hurts their defense, especially their pass rush. But at least they stacked the middle with Florida DT Caleb Banks (6-6, 327) and Iowa State DT Domonique Orange (6-2, 322) in Rounds 1 and 3.
The Vikings are ahead of the Super Bowl hopeful (yeah, I chuckled also) Dallas Cowboys in the post-draft power rankings. How bout them Cowboys?!
