Answer: There are two — cornerback and defensive tackle.

The Vikings were in the rumor mill for these DTs at the trade deadline:

Adam Butler (Las Vegas Raiders)

Sebastian Joseph-Day (Tennessee Titans)

Dalvin Tomlinson (Cleveland Browns)

Calais Campbell (Miami Dolphins)

And these CBs:

Greg Newsome II (Cleveland Browns)

Marshon Lattimore (New Orleans Saints)

Emmanuel Forbes (Washington Commanders)

Jonathan Jones (New England Patriots)

So, yes, when the offseason rolls around, most onlookers will scream “DT” and “CB” for the primary draft or free-agency need. We don’t disagree.
