Breaking Down the Vikings' Offensive Depth Chart After the Kyler Murray Signing

Offensive line

Christian Darrisaw will be two years removed from the torn ACL that he returned from a few weeks into last season. There are questions about whether he can return to the form that made him great before the injury, but there's optimism that he'll be able to do that.

Brian O'Neill is back at right tackle for his ninth season with the Vikings. A sprained MCL suffered in Week 4, followed by a heel injury late in the season, made 2025 difficult for him. If healthy, he's an elite right tackle.

The guards are set with Will Fries on the right and Donovan Jackson, whom Minnesota selected in the first round of last year's draft, on the left.

Blake Brandel is the favorite to start at center unless Minnesota finds someone late in free agency, through a trade, or in the draft. If Brandel isn't the guy, it might mean Michael Jurgens, a seventh-round pick in 2024, has taken a significant leap to earn the job.

Wide receiver

Justin Jefferson is the top dog, and Jordan Addison is the clear-cut No. 2, though Minnesota does need to decide whether to pick up Addison's fifth-year option by May 1.

The battle for the third, fourth, and fifth WR spots is currently uncontested, with Tai Felton and Myles Price looking like the only semi-sure things. Felton was Minnesota's third-round pick last year, and there are reports that the Vikings are intrigued by his explosiveness. That said, he did next to nothing last season. The same goes for Myles Prices, whose ability as a returner helped him make the team as an undrafted free agent in 2025.

They also have Jones, Fleming, and Davis signed to reserve/futures contracts, so they'll be on the 90-man roster this summer.

Running back

After Aaron Jones re-signed at a reduced salary, the Vikings appear to be running it back in the running backs room with Jones, Jordan Mason, and Zavier Scott.

Tight end

Similar to the running backs, Minnesota is running it back at tight end after T.J. Hockenson restructured his contract. Josh Oliver is also under contract to return as the top blocking tight end.
