They did get hot down the stretch last year winning 5-0 and much of that was due to an extremely good D effort.their D is primarily intact except for what I’d call a pair of solid players. They lost DE Javon Hargrave and OLB Jonathan Greenard. In exchange they drafted Caleb Banks at #18 overall and LB Golday at #51 overall. Banks is a good iDL with exceptional athleticism and length (87”in wingspan!). However he’s a player who often graded later in Day1 and often slipped into the opening of RD2 on many boards. Spending an #18 was a semi aggressive approach at filling Hargrave’s absence imo. Jonathan Greenard is a very experienced and well rounded LB. In 2025 PFF had him graded out in the top 15% of 114 qualified LB’s against the Pass. Yet even a better top 10% of the league against the Run. It’s doubtful that a Rookie or Depth player fills that Greenard void. Greenard signed a4yrX$98Mil $30Mil guaranteed with Philly.These are substantial player losses in 2026 from a 2025 Top NFL Defense imo.Thr Vikings did upgrade their WR core. They lost Jalen Nailor who was a solid contributor with 858 yards and 10 TD’s across 2024-25. Yet MN picked up WR Jauan Jennings (1,681 15TD’s across ‘24-25’).</blockquote>
