The Minnesota Vikings have the following picks in the 2025 NFL Draft:
- 1st Round: Pick No. 24 — The Vikings selected offensive lineman Donovan Jackson from Ohio State with this pick. Jackson is expected to play left guard and bring versatility and strong run-blocking skills to the Vikings' offensive line
- 3rd Round: Pick No. 97 (a compensatory pick) — This is their next pick after the first round. The Vikings have no picks in the 2nd round due to previous trades
- 5th Round: The Vikings have a pick in this round, acquired from the Los Angeles Rams
- 6th Round: Pick No. 187 — This is their last pick in the 2025 draft
In total, the Vikings have only four picks in the 2025 draft, the fewest of any NFL franchise this year, due to prior trades that moved away their 2nd and 4th round picks
. They chose to stay at No. 24 in the first round rather than trading down to accumulate more picks, indicating a strong interest in Donovan Jackson
. Other notable draft selections include wide receiver Tai Felton in the 3rd round and linebacker Kobe King from Penn State, who was praised for his run defense and pass-rushing ability
