We have grades good and bad of individual players here throughout the lineup.
Vikings Preseason Game One Notes https://www.dailynorseman.com/2019/8/11/20799468/minnesota-vikings-preseason-game-one-notes-new-orleans-saints
some highlights - copy paste....
Ben Gedeon was the only linebacker to play well - all the rest were bottom half performers - including the starters.
Kentrell Brothers was the worst graded, and Eric Wilson, Cameron Smith and Devante Downs weren’t far behind. They struggled in different facets, but none of the linebackers outside of Ben Gedeon graded well.
Brett Jones was the highest graded offensive lineman, followed by Riley Reiff. Those two were the only two OL with decent run blocking grades too. Guards John Keenoy and Danny Isidoradid surprisingly well, as did tackles Tyler Catalina and Oli Udoh - albeit with the third team.
It was a bit surprising to see Holton Hill getting the most reps at CB, considering his doghouse status, but it also is a sign they want to keep him, despite the suspensions, because he is very promising. Hill was also the highest graded CB on the Vikings roster other than Nate Meadors - who was tops due to his rather fortuitous interception.
While Nate Meadors was the top rated defensive player, according to PFF, that came entirely on his gift interception, so I discount that heavily. After Meadows, Jalyn Holmes was second, followed by Armon Watts, Ben Gedeon, Anthony Harris, and Ifeadi Odenigbo.
