The Minnesota Vikings’ season will end disappointingly after a loss to the Los Angeles Rams that saw them never really be in the game from the first whistle. The team had its areas where they simply were overmatched by the Rams and it gives the team a lot to think about heading into the offseason.
The Vikings’ focus now shifts to the offseason, where the team will utilize free agency, specifically the NFL Draft.
The team only has five draft picks as of right now after trading up twice in the 2024 NFL Draft. They traded up for J.J. McCarthy and Dallas Turner in last April’s draft, and in hindsight, they are probably very happy with that decision.
Here is where they are projected to draft in the 2025 NFL Draft with the added bonus of naming potential picks in those spots as well.
