Geno Atkins, our 214th ranked defensive tackle, is best suited to be a depth backup. We project he will end up with the Minnesota Vikings because they could use a player of this quality after losing Harrison Phillips for an extended period of time. The Vikings currently have 5 healthy defensive tackles, and 3 are rated better than Atkins: (Sheldon Day, Khyiris Tonga, and Jerry Tillery).
The Vikings currently have no defensive tackles under contract beyond the 2027 season, so Atkins may only be getting a short term deal, considering his age, with the team.
