The NFL Draft is officially in the books, with the Minnesota Vikings having a draft class of five players:
- 24th overall: Donovan Jackson, OL, Ohio State
- 102nd overall: Tai Felton, WR, Maryland
- 139th overall: Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, DL, Georgia
- 201st overall: Kobe King, LB, Penn State
- 202nd overall: Gavin Bartholomew, TE, Pitt
They only selected four players in the draft, but there weren't a lot of roster spots that could be taken by a rookie. It's also not the worst draft to have few picks, as the talent in this class isn't very high like it was in past years. They did make another trade, acquiring quarterback Sam Howell from the Seattle Seahawks, and all they had to do was move down 30 spots on day three.

The UDFA process has been a very important factor for the Vikings over the tenure of general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. These are the players that they will be bringing in after the NFL Draft to fortify the 90-man roster.
