Vikings

• The Athletic’s Chad Graff writes the Vikings will likely add some competition for their No. 3 and No. 4 receiver positions in the draft. 
• The draft is also where the Vikings will likely address their need on the offensive line, per Graff. They need at least one starting guard and either another guard or a left tackle. 
• There’s also a gaping hole at safety, as Graff notes the current projected second starter there is Josh Metellus.
• Graff says Vikings DE Danielle Hunter‘s view of his situation has seemingly improved after a phone conversation with some coaches. 
• New Vikings CB Patrick Peterson told reporters that his “dreams and aspirations” were to play 16 years in the NFL upon being asked about how much football he has left in him: “At this moment I feel unbelievably great.” (Courtney Cronin)
• Peterson said of leaving Arizona: “I never thought I’d be playing for another team.” He added that it’s “the nature of the business now.” (Chris Tomasson)
• Peterson doesn’t seem to be worried about any injury issues: “I haven’t missed any time due to injuries. I think I’m doing something right.” (Chris Tomasson)
• As for the possibility of playing safety at some point, Peterson said: “My position will be cornerback for sure.” (Chris Tomasson)
