1. Minnesota Vikings
The biggest mover across our entire rankings was the Minnesota front seven, which jumped 24 spots to No. 1 this year. The Vikings added both Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave to a defensive front that finished sixth in pressure rate and fourth in sacks last season.

If Allen and Hargrave remain healthy, its impossible to say the interior won't be majorly improved. As a byproduct, Harrison Phillips will be more effective. The depth/rotational is pretty decent and will be more fresh. But to what degree its improved is the tough part to forecast.

RandBall: Do the Vikings have the best front seven in the NFL?
One NFL analyst says the answer is yes. When you look at their projected starters, it’s hard to disagree. Michael Rand looks at that and more in today’s 10 things to know.

"One gets the sense that the Vikings know they can be really good this year, and that their belief has been bolstered considerably by their offseason additions.

How that translates on the field remains to be seen, but head coach Kevin O’Connell is ready for the challenge.

“It’s time for us to acknowledge what we’re actually trying to build here,” he said Tuesday. “What that’s going to take is, in my opinion, an invisible presence in this building of understanding that we are capable, but we’ve got to put in a lot of work to feel totally worthy in those moments to get to where we want to get to.
