On March 23rd, NFL free agency has teens across the league making big changes ahead of the

new season.

CBS Sports expert Pete Prisco just dropped his latest power rankings, placing the Minnesota

Vikings at 16th overall.

That's a solid bump for a team that stayed pretty quiet compared to others.

The Vikings made one key move by signing Kyler Murray to a one-year deal.

Prisco sees him competing with JJ McCarthy for the starting spot, with most expecting Murray

to take the reins and boost the offense right away.

Fans and analysts have mixed takes on the Viking spot.

It's higher than some recent lists that had them as low as 25th, showing how that quarterback

addition shifted opinions in a hurry.

In the NFC North, the Green Bay Packers lead the pack at 7th after their aggressive moves.

The Chicago Bears sit in ninth, the Detroit Lions 15th, and now the Vikings rounded out at 16th.

These rankings highlight how a single smart signing can shake up expectations, setting the

stage for what promises to be a competitive division race.
