23. Minnesota Vikings

The quarterback situation is very much in flux right now for the Minnesota Vikings. Will Sam Bradford rescue their 2016 season and will he have to be a long-term consideration because of the situation with Teddy Bridgewater? Lots of unknowns to sort through, which is why it’s becoming critical that the Vikings ensure the machine they’ve built doesn’t break down until that happens. It starts with finding a successor to Adrian Peterson. <p>Facts are facts. The man is 31 years old. Freak of nature though he might be, that position can wear down in a hurry. So the Minnesota brings in somebody who can ease the pressure on him and eventually take over for when he’s ready to walk away. Nick Chubb looked like he wouldn’t be in the 1st round conversation after his knee injury in 2015. However, one game into this year and he’s right back where he started. The kid runs with power, vision, speed and tenacity. He’s also proven remarkable resilience. He’ll look great in purple.</p>. RB. Georgia. Nick Chubb . 23. player. 60
