2024 NFL Draft: RAS scores for Vikings rookie class image

The Minnesota Vikings 2024 NFL Draft class is a really interesting one, especially when you consider how they entered the draft. They had nine picks but ended up only making seven selections.

Round Pick Selection
1 10 Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy
1 17 Alabama EDGE Dallas Turner
4 108 Oregon CB Khyree Jackson
6 177  Oklahoma OT Walter Rouse
6 203 Alabama K Will Reichard
7 230  Wake Forest C Michael Jurgens
7 232  Texas A&M Commerce DT Levi Drake Rodriguez

This is an interesting group when you look at it. The first six picks are all from power five conferences with two players from the Alabama Crimson Tide. It also happened to be the second year in a row that general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah took multiple players from the same draft class.

In taking a look at who the Vikings drafted, the first thing to look at is the athletic profile. How do their athletic profiles look? Let's take a look at the athletic profiles from Kent Lee Platte, the creator of Relative Athletic Score (RAS)
