How many picks do the Minnesota Vikings have in the 2025 NFL draft?
MINNEAPOLIS — After a fizzling end to the Minnesota Vikings' season, they've got plenty of work to do this offseason.
While they've already begun adding talent via free agency, they'll need to restock the stores via the draft as well.
In order to do so, they'll need more draft success than they've had in recent years. Unfortunately, their draft pick cupboards are pretty bare this year.
Here's everything you need to know about the Minnesota Vikings' 2025 draft picks.
What picks do the Vikings have in the 2025 NFL draft?
The Vikings currently hold just four picks in April's draft — a first-rounder, a third-rounder and two fifth-rounders.
The overall placement of their picks is 24th, 97th, 139th and 160th.
Did the Vikings get any compensatory picks?
The NFL awards compensatory picks based on a franchise's qualifying free agent additions and losses from the previous offseason. The Viking signed five qualifying players and lost six, according to the NFL.
The Vikings received a third-round compensatory pick (No. 97) to offset the departure of quarterback Kirk Cousins. Theirs was the highest compensatory pick awarded this year.
What happened to the Vikings' other picks? Can they get more?
Last year, the Vikings moved up twice in the first round, sending multiple mid-round draft picks in 2024 and 2025 to the New York Jets and Jacksonville Jaguars to move up to 10th and 17th to draft quarterback J.J. McCarthy and edge Dallas Turner, respectively.
The Vikings sent their sixth- and seventh-round 2025 picks to the Cleveland Browns as part of a trade involving pass rusher Za'Darius Smith.
The Vikings could add more picks via trade either before the draft or during it. This would likely involve trading down from the 24th pick.
When is the 2025 NFL draft?
The first round of the draft will be on Thursday, April 24, with rounds two and three the next day and the final four rounds on Saturday, April 26.
The draft will be hosted in Green Bay, Wisconsin this year.
