How secure is Ed Ingram’s roster spot? Chosen 59th overall back in 2022, most Minnesotans would likely assume it’s quite safe.

Most recently, the Vikings’ 2nd-Round corner — Andrew Booth Jr. — got traded to Dallas in a player-for-player swap that’s more common in the NHL than it is the NFL. The ten selections are thus down to just seven remaining players. One wonders if one or two more will be gone by the time August 27th is finished.
