6-1 is one helluva start, no matter how you're doing it. Of course they can play better, and will have to play better, but you can't ask for much more than what they've done.
Worth noting, for all the hate and hand-wringing about Spielman, the lasting impact of his last 2-3 drafts is fairly impressive, the cupboard was most definitely not bare.
Also worth noting, in light of the perpetual hate for Spielman regarding the OL; I think I heard a stat the other day that the Vikings are one of just 2 NFL teams whose entire starting 5 was drafted and developed. All of the Vikings starting OL were drafted in either the 1st or 2nd round. Ingram has a ways to go but he hasn't even been starting for 2 months. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
