Head coach Mike Zimmer maintained throughout the spring and into the summer that he had no depth chart and that he wanted to evaluate his players before worrying about where they stand.
Nearly two weeks into training camp, and four days before the Vikings have actually played a preseason game, that process is still ongoing, making the task of attempting to project Zimmer's two-deep depth chart a foolish endeavor. But what the heck, I'm going to try it anyway.
To be clear, this projected two-deep depth chart is my best guesstimate -- not Zimmer's -- and I've based it on what we have seen up here in Mankato since the Vikings reported. And keep in mind that Zimmer, General Manager Rick Spielman and the scouting staff will continue to keep an eye on other teams for trade opportunities and preseason roster cuts. There is a chance the Vikings end up starting someone who isn't even on the roster. But for now, we'll base it on who's here.
QUARTERBACK: 1. Matt Cassel. 2. Teddy Bridgewater.
RUNNING BACK: 1. Adrian Peterson. 2. Matt Asiata.
FULLBACK: 1. Jerome Felton. 2. Zach Line.
WIDE RECEIVER: 1. Cordarrelle Patterson. 2. Rodney Smith.
WIDE RECEIVER: 1. Greg Jennings. 2. Adam Thielen.
