Minnesota Vikings defensive depth chart is in flux post OTAs and minicamp image

The Minnesota Vikings have completed their offseason activities. After OTAs and mandatory minicamp, things are still relatively unclear with the defense..

When taking a look at the Vikings' defense, it's a unit that will look significantly different in the front seven. Jonathan Greenard, Andrew Van Ginkel, Blake Cashman and Jerry Tillery are all projected starters who signed this offseason. Will that end up working to the Vikings' benefit this year? Only time will tell.

To pair with the offensive depth chart, here is the projected defensive depth chart for the Vikings with the projected starters in bold.
