After addressing virtually all of their weaknesses in free agency via a $300 million spending spree, the Vikings used the 2025 NFL Draft to add depth across the roster.

Though they didn’t have many picks at their disposal, the Vikings still managed to add talented players on both sides of the ball. It will be interesting to see them up close and personal next month during rookie minicamp

Here’s a look at the full 2025 draft class:

Donovan Jackson (Round 1, Pick 24)

Position: Left Guard

College: Ohio State

Analysis: It’s safe to assume that Jackson is already the favorite to take over at left guard. He has has the power needed to anchor in the pass game and pave the way in the run game. He also has a good combination of speed and quickness that should help him excel in the trenches at the next level. The biggest competition for Jackson as of right now is Blake Brandel. He was the incumbent at left guard from last season and will still try to prove himself as a viable option.

Tai Felton (Round 3, Pick 102)

Position: Receiver

College: Maryland

Analysis: The speed that Felton brings to table stands out above everything else. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.37 seconds, which, in turn, should help him be able to take the top of the defense whenever he’s on the field. After working on the outside for most of his career, Felton has recently started to develop his craft on the inside. He also has the ability to contribute on special teams if that’s what he’s asked to do.

Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins (Round 5, Pick 139)

Position: Defensive Tackle

College: Georgia

Analysis: The fact that Ingram-Dawkins can play multiple positions on the defensive line could help him carve out a niche for himself sooner rather than later. Think kind of like what Jihad Ward did last season in his limited snaps. The athleticism that Ingram Dawkins possesses should allow him to make an impact as a rotational pass rusher right off the bat in the early stages of his career.
