More Minnesota Vikings Mock Drafts

The real 2025 NFL Draft is three days away. The days of 2025 mock drafts are finally coming to end. Before they do, here are three more Minnesota Vikings mock drafts. Two without trades. One with a first-round trade back. 

Minnesota Vikings Mock Draft #1

1. Kelvin Banks Jr., OL, Texas

3. Jordan Phillips, DT, Maryland

5. Kyle Williams, WR, Washington State

6. Cam’Ron Jackson, DT, Florida

Minnesota Vikings Mock Draft #2

1. Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan

3. Tate Ratledge, G, Georgia

5. Kyle Williams, WR, Washington State

6. Marcus Yarns, RB, Delaware

Minnesota Vikings Mock Draft #3

Trade: Vikings flip #24 to the Cleveland Browns for #33 and #67

2. Grey Zabel, OL, North Dakota State

3. Kevin Winston Jr, S, Penn State

3. Harold Fanin Jr., TE, Bowling Green

5. Brashard Smith, RB, SMU

6. Cam’Ron Jackson, DT, Florida

In the real draft, I have serious doubts that either Kelvin Banks Jr. or Kenneth Grant will be available at #24. When they were in each of the respective above mocks, I had to pounce. Over these past months, I’ve come to favor an interior offensive lineman with the Vikings first pick. A player like Kenneth Grant being available would alter that. 

Of the above mocks drafts, I favor the trade back. Getting more than four shots at players is always going to be better than not. I also really like Grey Zabel as the Vikings first pick. He’s probably emerged as my #1 option at 24, or later with a trade back. His versatility to immediately step in at left guard and perhaps move to center or right tackle in a couple years separates him from other prospects. 

I believe that the PFF mock draft simulator is broken when it comes to Washington State receiver Kyle Williams. I believe that he’s a Day 2 talent but he’s routinely available in the fifth round. 

Only three more days of this mocking nonsense remains.
