Minnesota Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah faces a significant challenge: enhancing a roster that currently has only three projected picks in the 2025 NFL Draft (potentially four if compensatory picks come through). Despite being projected to have over $50 million in cap space, the Vikings have several pressing needs, including the offensive line, defensive interior, cornerback, safety, and running back. Free agency will help address some of these gaps, but with the 24th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Minnesota still has an opportunity to land an immediate impact player.
So, who might the Vikings target in the first round? It’s still too early to say, but recent speculation has linked them to one of J.J. McCarthy’s former teammates.
Minnesota Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah has a big task ahead: trying to improve a roster that’s projected to have just three picks (four if compensatory pick projections are accurate) in the 2025 NFL Draft. While the Vikings are expected to have over $50 million in cap space, this is a team with a number of needs, particularly along the offensive line, the defensive interior, cornerback, safety, and running back. Free agency will help fill in as many of these areas as possible, yet since Minnesota boasts the 24th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, they should still be able to add a Day 1 contributor.
Who will the Vikings draft in the first round? It’s too early to tell, but recently, they were pointed in the direction of one of J.J. McCarthy’s former teammates.
