The 2025 NFL Draft kicks off on April 24, and it’s time for Vikings fans to gear up for what promises to be a pivotal event. While we’ll dive into the players Minnesota needs most, it’s also crucial to explore the broader landscape of talent available.
One position demanding attention is cornerback. Despite short-term fixes like the signing of veteran Stephon Gilmore and other training camp additions, the Vikings still lack long-term solutions. Last year’s draft pick, Khyree Jackson, tragically passed away in a car accident caused by a drunk driver, leaving a void in the secondary. Jackson had the potential to thrive in Brian Flores’ defense, but without him, the team must prioritize drafting a young, dynamic cornerback in 2025 to inject fresh talent into the group.
