This is our ranking of the coaching staffs of the four teams in the division, which mostly weighs the head coach and two main coordinators. Let's dive in. 4.

The Vikings drafted only five players this year, the first time they've had a class that small since 2009. But they were able to make up for the lack of volume by going all out in college free agency after the draft ended. GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and company guaranteed nearly $3 million to undrafted rookies, which is far more than usual. Nine different players got over $200K in guarantees to sign with the Vikings — similar amounts to what sixth-rounders Gavin Bartholomew and Kobe King received.

ESPN revealed an NFL all-quarter century team on Wednesday from analytics-focused writers Aaron Schatz and Seth Walder. One thing immediately stood out when looking through it: Where on earth is Adrian Peterson? The team includes three running backs: Priest Holmes, Christian McCaffrey, and Derrick Henry.

The Twins and Reds have entered a second weather delay on Wednesday evening. A game that began two hours and five minutes later than the scheduled first pitch due to severe thunderstorms in Cincinnati has entered a rain delay in the sixth inning at nearly 11 p.m. local time. The tarp came back onto the field with one out in the bottom of the sixth and the Reds leading 4-2. It'll count as an official game — and the Twins' sixth consecutive loss — if play cannot resume tonight.
