The Minnesota Vikings will reveal their draft choices in about one week after much deliberation about how the team might proceed. General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah used a rambunctious free agency to fortify the roster with new players like Jonathan Allen (DT), Javon Hargrave (DT), Will Fries (OG), Ryan Kelly (C), and others, so this draft is more mysterious per outcome. All roster holes vanished. This draft could bend in half a dozen ways, and no one would be too surprised about any path.

The Minnesota Vikings are just days away from being on the clock for the 2025 NFL Draft. They currently hold the 24th overall pick and then unfortunately don’t have too much draft capital after that. Their additional selections come in the third, fifth, and sixth rounds. Of course, as they have done in recent years, Minnesota will host a draft party at U.S. Bank Stadium. The plan is for fans to gather and celebrate together as they watch the next rookie be selected for the 53-man roster.

The Minnesota Vikings needed to improve the interiors of both the offensive and defensive lines. They needed to make moves to shore up depth that left in free agency and continue elevating the defense. Last season, the running game saw veteran Aaron Jones start every game despite having previously dealt with durability and health issues. That was good news, and he turned the opportunity into a career-best yardage total. The reality was that he still saw plenty of bumps and bruises along the way.

The Minnesota Vikings’ backup quarterback is one of the hottest non-draft topics among fans in April, mainly because the man scheduled to start at QB1, J.J. McCarthy, is inexperienced and recovering from a torn meniscus. The purple team has just two quarterbacks on its depth chart: McCarthy and veteran Brett Rypien. And according to former NFL coach Eric Mangini, that’s not enough, and Minnesota could target Aaron Rodgers or Kirk Cousins yet this offseason — two rather tired theories.

The Minnesota Vikings will reveal their draft strategy in eight days, scheduled to announce four draft picks over three days in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Most onlookers expect general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah to prioritize defense at the top of the event, mainly because the offense is in fine shape for the long term. And according to ESPN, the Vikings should trade back from their 24th overall pick and nab a safety early.
