Power rankings are always interesting to see how they can reflect upon your team and others within your division. Following the NFL Draft, groups are re-evaluating rosters and projecting them out as they get new looks and overhauls one last time before training camp and the preseason. The Vikings had one of the more confusing drafts, making their rise up the latest ESPN power rankings interesting.

Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement ESPN's Kevin Seifert, the Vikings beat reporter, wrote up their ranking, which had them moving up one spot from the 10th spot to 9th. They cite their improvement along the interior offensive line for their jump up one spot for their ranking rise. Seifert writes, "The Vikings overhauled all three positions of their interior offensive line, committing $106 million in free agency to sign center Ryan Kelly and right guard Will Fries.

They used their first-round draft choice on Donovan Jackson, who will likely be their new left guard. The area was a major need for improvement. Their centers and guards all ranked in the bottom 10 last season in run block win rate.

In 2025, the Vikings will likely have three first-round picks (Jackson, Kelly and left tackle Christian Darrisaw) and one second-round pick (right tackle Brian O'Neill) in their starting lineup." The entire Vikings roster is loaded, there is no denying that. No position has a weak spot.

That doesn't make the draft any less confusing, but when you nail the first pick, it always makes things a little easier, and ESPN recognized that. This article originally appeared on Vikings Wire: Where do the Vikings land in ESPN's power rankings post-NFL Draft?
