Shakir Soto, our 8th ranked defensive end, is best suited to
be a starter. 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 3 healthy defensive ends, and none are
rated better than Soto.
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.
