NFL mock drafts will only increase in intensity within the next eight days, a countdown to the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

The Minnesota Vikings have been very, very busy this week, paying off promises they made entering the offseason to improve the offensive and defensive interior lines, while retaining key secondary pieces in Harrison Smith and Byron Murphy Jr.But general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and head coach Kevin O’Connell are far from done.
