Minnesota Vikings projected depth chart pre-training camp

The Minnesota Vikings are set to report to training camp on July 21st (rookies) and 23rd (veterans). It will signal an unofficial start to the 2024 season.

It's been a wild offseason for the Vikings. They have seen a lot of excitement with first-round picks quarterback J.J. McCarthy and edge rusher Dallas Turner getting on the field for the first time and wide receiver Justin Jefferson signing his mega contract extension. After the Vikings broke minicamp and wrapped up OTAs, it's been a lot tougher.

They suffered a tragedy on July 6th when rookie cornerback Khyree Jackson passed away in a car accident and wide receiver Jordan Addison was arrested on suspicion of DUI on Friday night. It's been a difficult offseason and that could bleed into the season.

As we enter training camp, what does the depth chart potentially look like? Here is my best guess at the depth chart heading into next week's festivities.
