Minnesota Vikings Dream Picks At Each Pick

The Minnesota Vikings hold only four picks in the 2025 NFL Draft. 

Round 1: 24th overall

Round 3: 97th overall

Round 5: 139th overall

Round 6: 187th overall

That’s not a lot of draft picks. It’s been reported/speculated that general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah is targeting making six selections. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see him move around in the draft. Through three drafts, he’s moved often. I just hope that he makes the right trades rather than simply trying to hit a targeted number of picks. 

Here are some of my dream picks at each of the four picks the Vikings currently hold. 

Round 1:

Grey Zabel, OL, North Dakota State

Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan

Derrick Holmes, DT, Oregon

Walter Nolen, DT, Mississippi

Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas

Will Johnson, CB, Michigan

Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky

Trey Amos, CB, Mississippi

Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina

Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina

Malaki Starks, S, Georgia

That’s a long list. That tends to happen when the Vikings pick in the back third of the first round. There’s more corners than I expected. I could probably reduce the list to just Jahdae Barron and Will Johnson but I really like the others. The most dreamy of the dream first-rounders are Grey Zabel, Kenneth Grant, and Derrick Holmes. Maybe Walter Nolen too. 

Round 3:

Dylan Fairchild, G, Georgia

Wyatt Milum, OL, West Virginia

Ty Robinson, DT, Nebraska

C.J. West, DT, Indiana

Omar Norman-Lott, DT, Tennessee

Aeneas Peebles, DT, Virginia Tech

Nohl Williams, CB, Cal

Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame

Quincy Riley, CB, Louisville

Savion Williams, WR, TCU

Round 5:

Jackson Slater, OL, Sacramento State

JJ Pegues, DT, Mississippi

Zah Frazier, CB, UTSA

Brashard Smith, RB, SMU

Round 6:

Bryce Cabeldue, G, Kansas

Nazir Stackhouse, DT, Georgia

Tonka Hemingway, DT, South Carolina

Kyonte Hamilton, DT, Rutgers

Cobee Bryant, CB, Kansas

Isaac TeSlaa, WR, Arkansas

Jimmy Horn Jr., WR, Colorado

An attempt to form a Dream Draft from the above Dream Picks:

1. Grey Zabel, OL, North Dakota State

3. C.J. West, DT, Indiana

5. Brashard Smith, RB, SMU

6. Cobee Bryant, CB, Kansas
