The Vikings had a solid three-day stretch at the NFL Draft and added a handful of quality players to the roster.
Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and his staff came into this draft with all of their flash already on the roster. The picks they were going to make were going to be about finally eating their vegetables so that when the season hits December, January, and hopefully February, these are the players you can rely on. Some starters will emerge from the group, some of them are going to be depth pieces. All in all, this is a class that is going to have a lot of safe picks for the team, which they needed.
Now, as for the 2025 season, here is the updated version of the Vikings’ depth chart following the 2025 NFL Draft.
Note: I will not include any UDFA signings, as we won’t know who makes it through rookie minicamps, so we will project them as we get closer to training camp.
