SOTO

Shakir Soto, our 78th ranked defensive end, is best suited to be a primary backup. We project he will end up with the Minnesota Vikings because they could use a player of this quality after losing Jonathan Bullard and Marcus Davenport for an extended period of time. The Vikings currently have 4 healthy defensive ends, and 2 are rated better than Soto: (Danielle Hunter and Dj Wonnum).

The Vikings currently have no defensive ends under contract beyond the 2027 season, so Soto may only be getting a short term deal, considering his age, with the team.
