4 Days Away — All the Draft Picks

Vikings Must Avoid Common Draft Mistake
NFL Draft

Minnesota Vikings general manager will conduct his second career draft on Thursday night, 15 months after taking over the front office.

Last year, Adofo-Mensah selected defensively, adding defenders with his first five of six picks. The 2023 edition may not be that defense-heavy, but the Vikings can still stand to improve on Brian Flores’ side of the ball.
