Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell is determined to bolster his team's offensive line after a disappointing playoff performance against the Rams, where quarterback Sam Darnold was sacked an NFL playoff record-tying nine times. With free agency and the draft approaching, O'Connell aims to enhance the interior line. Currently, guard Dalton Risner is the only contributor slated for free agency, while center Garrett Bradbury and guard Ed Ingram may be replaced due to their contracts being out of guaranteed money. Potential free agent targets include young starters like Will Fries (Colts) and Teven Jenkins (Bears), along with older, cost-effective options like Kevin Zeitler (Lions) and Brandon Scherff (Jaguars). The need for improved pass protection and run blocking is critical, especially after the Vikings' lackluster red zone performance. The draft also offers promising interior linemen options, such as Grey Zabel from North Dakota State, who could be available at the 24th overall pick.
