Summer is here, sort of, and it is everyone’s favorite time of the year, scouting time. Every year, we do Summer Scouting to preview college football for Vikings fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Minnesota.
Are we going to write about quarterbacks? Offensive tackles? Edge rushers? You know it, but why? Because other NFL teams will draft them, just as they will draft every other position. It all matters whether these players end up on the Vikings, the Bears, or the Steelers. We write these so Vikings fans can be the most informed fans.
So if you are still with us, enjoy our latest Summer Scouting report as we prepare you for the Fall.

Player Summary
Blake Frazier was plugged into the starting left tackle spot. He had mixed results but showcased some promise, so I added him to my watchlist. He is very much an unfinished project, but could see a big jump in 2026 with some development. Right now, he has quick feet and hips to allow for his lower body mechanics to be decent. He also demonstrates good balance to handle speed or power off the edge. Overall, he won’t be very high in my rankings, but he is a fun player to track this season.
