The Vikings are in Indianapolis for the annual NFL scouting combine all week, and one of the most beneficial things they get to do is conduct formal interviews with dozens of draft prospects. 

Here's a look at some of the players who they've interviewed so far, according to reports on social media. It's important to note that this will cover just a tiny chunk of the many players they've already interviewed or will end up talking to throughout the week.

USC QB Caleb Williams

The Vikings would have to trade all the way up to the Bears' No. 1 overall pick to land Williams, which is highly unlikely, but it's worth doing due diligence on him nonetheless.

LSU QB Jayden Daniels

Daniels is a more realistic option for the Vikings than Williams. They'd still have to move up into the top three, but a trade with the Patriots at No. 3 is much more within reason than a trade with the Bears at No. 1. Then again, the Heisman-winning Daniels could also go second overall to the Commanders, if they prefer him to Drake Maye. (The Vikings will also undoubtedly be meeting with Maye, J.J. McCarthy, and all of the other notable quarterbacks in this year's class, even if those haven't been reported yet).

Texas DT Byron Murphy II

Murphy is a legitimate possibility at No. 11 if the Vikings don't draft a quarterback with their top pick. He's a game-wrecking interior defensive lineman who some have connected to Minnesota.
