The Vikings have been active in giving Brian Flores another veteran-heavy cornerback room for the 2025 NFL season. Last year, they were led by Byron Murphy Jr., who returns after signing a three-year deal with the team early in free agency. They also added players like Isaiah Rodgers and Jeff Okudah, but they may not be done yet.

There are a couple of ways the Vikings could proceed when they’re on the clock for the first time. They could trade back with hopes of giving themselves more darts to throw, or they could stay put and simply take the best player available. “It’s about impact,” Adofo-Mensah said. “That impact can be a great player or multiple good players.”

In one of the latest NFL mock drafts, the Minnesota Vikings are predicted to trade down with an AFC team in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
