Will the Vikings’ 2nd-Round Selection and Current RG1 be Traded Away?
How secure is Ed Ingram’s roster spot? Chosen 59th overall back in 2022, most Minnesotans would likely assume it’s quite safe. Already, the 2022 NFL Draft class has been trimmed down to 70% of the original total. Defensive end Esezi Otomewo got cut. Offensive tackle Vederian Lowe was traded. 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.

Brian Flores is a believer in Jihad Ward. The Vikings veteran was the recipient of some effusive praise from the defensive coordinator. To be fair, a good portion of the presser was dominated by the coach’s response to Tua Tagovailoa’s criticisms, so it was likely a welcome reprieve to switch gears by praising one of his current players. Even still, the sense one gets from Flores’ response is that Mr. Ward has a role to play for the Minnesota Vikings in 2024.

'Little bulldog' Brandon Powell a big Vikings X-factor as WR embraces Midwest, 2024 Super Bowl hopes
EAGAN, Minn. -- Justin Jefferson is the face of the Minnesota Vikings, and the headliner of one of the most talented wide receiver groups in the NFL. Everywhere he goes, he is noticed. Not only for the sparkle of a necklace afforded by one of the richest contracts in league history, but for the playful personality that's summoned a national spotlight to a franchise still devoid of Super Bowl luster.
