NFC North offensive lines ranked from worst to best in 2023

3. Minnesota Vikings

Projected starters: Christian Darrisaw, Ezra Cleveland, Garrett Bradbury, Ed Ingram, Brian O'Neill

Minnesota's biggest strength is its tackles.

Third-year left tackle Christian Darrisaw is the real deal. He is Pro Football Focus' fifth-ranked tackle entering the 2023 season. PFF notes that he had the third-best run grade among tackles last season.

On the right side, the Vikings have Pro Bowler Brian O'Neill, who has started 75 games over the past five seasons. With Darrisaw and O'Neill, the Vikings have arguably the best tackle tandem in the division.

While Minnesota has talent at the interior positions, there are some questions.

"Despite having invested a 2020 second-round pick in left guard Ezra Cleveland and a 2022 second-rounder in right guard Ed Ingram, Minnesota constantly had to overcome deficient guard play," wrote Andy Benoit of The 33rd Team.

It was a real problem for the Vikings last season, as was the play of center Garrett Bradbury, who still has a lot to improve.

The potential is there. The Vikings invested high draft picks in their offensive line. They could figure things out inside and have a dominant season, and they are helped by excellent play at tackle. Minnesota's offensive line has high upside, but there are questions.
