Minnesota is coming off a season where it had plenty of weaknesses exposed. The Vikings struggled to protect the quarterback and stop opposing offenses as Minnesota slipped to 7-9.

Now that the team has signed several big-name players this offseason, the Vikings don’t have as many holes to fill through the NFL draft.

There are still some weak spots on the team, though: like at offensive line, defensive end, wide receiver three and linebacker depth. Those spots will likely be filled by draftees.

So here is a list of some ideal draft prospects for the Vikings at No. 14 in the draft:
