team. 60. . Offensive Line. . Minnesota Vikings.

The Minnesota Vikings did a good job upgrading their offensive line last offseason, notably bringing aboard offensive tackle Mike Remmers to help bolster a terrible unit from the previous year.

While Minnesota doesn’t have a large number of holes to fill, the O-line could still use some additional work. Fellow tackle Riley Reiff has been OK, but the Vikings could stand an upgrade there.

In addition, some better play along the interior might be nice.

The Vikings also have some tough choices ahead of them regarding the quarterback position. The oft-injured Sam Bradford will be a free agent, and who knows how well fellow QB Teddy Bridgewater will be after his own horrid knee injury. Would the Vikings turn to Case Keenum again in 2018? He’s surprised some.

Regardless, the offensive skill positions need a potent O-line to make it all work.
