2026 Free Agency and Draft: RB
I think I'd add Wake Forest's Demond Claiborne to this list linked below. This class doesn't have the depth of last year's class, but right now it seems there are 7 RBs that I'd be pretty happy with: Love, Price, Coleman, Johnson, Washington, Claiborne and Singleton. While I loved Singleton the first time I put him on (he's the best physical specimen in this class) his poor final season does cause some concern.
Still, unless we bring back Aaron Jones, and I doubt we do, we need a starter on day one, so I think this could be a position where we tap into the free agency market. Breece Hall, Travis Etienne and Kenneth Walker III all free agents, with Etienne the most likely to hit the market IMO.

Nebraska RB Emmett Johnson said the #Vikings are “definitely interested” in him. Johnson, the Minneapolis native, met with Minnesota a few times, including on a top 30 visit:

This actually might be the closest player comparison I've ever had. And I saw the same player before any of the testing came out. 🤯
