No one in Minnesota was happy with the Vikings’ 8-7-1 record last season. This year, Mike Zimmer and company want to be Super Bowl bound.

Mike Zimmer’s drafting abilities have been hit-and-miss, but Laquon Treadwell has become a defining flub. Heading into the 2016 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings were looking to improve upon their 11-5 finish and their heartbreaking loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.

Last season the Minnesota Vikings failed to meet their high expectations. Could they possibly be the contender they were supposed to be in 2019?
