We asked everyone what position, outside of quarterback, was their biggest concern as we get closer to the start of the 2026 NFL season. We had a variety of options to choose from, and after all of the votes were tallied, one position stood out above the rest.
Of those who responded to our poll, 29% said the center position was the one they were most concerned about going into training camp. Another 24% singled out the cornerback spot, while 19% stayed in the defensive backfield with the safety position. There were 14% of our readers who said the defensive line was their spot of greatest concern, while 10% are most worried about a position that was not among those listed among our primary choices. I believe I saw edge rusher among those that people were worried about in the comments section, and that's one that makes some sense. . .I probably should have had that one among the choices.
Personally, I think I'd lean more towards the defensive line. I know that Jalen Redmond is a young up-and-comer up front for this team, but outside of that. . .yeah, there's a lot of potential, and I did really like the Caleb Banks pick a lot more than a lot of people seemed to. But there are a lot of question marks among those young guys up front, and while Brian Flores has been known for getting a lot out of his players, he's going to be asking a lot out of a group of players who, to this point, haven't really done a whole lot at the NFL level. There's still time to add some players that could chip in and add some things, but at this point the pickings are a little on the slim side.
As always, we'd like to thank everyone who took the time to participate in our poll for this week. Keep your eyes open, because we'll probably have a few more of these between now and the time the Vikings get themselves to camp in a few weeks.
