The 2026 NFL Draft is scheduled for April 23-25 in Pittsburgh.
As of Sept. 19, the Vikings have eight selections.
The Vikings have picks in the following rounds (as of Sept. 10, 2025):
Fifth round (from Philadelphia in the 2025 Sam Howell trade)
Sixth round (from Indianapolis in the 2025 Mekhi Blackmon trade)
Seventh round (from Houston in the 2024 Cam Akers trade)
Seventh round (from Carolina in the 2025 Adam Thielen trade)
The exact spots will be determined later, based on order of finish, as well as the NFL’s compensatory formula for later rounds.
The Vikings anticipate receiving compensatory picks based on free agency departures during 2025 free agency, particularly for quarterbacks Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones. Compensatory picks are awarded between the Super Bowl and the draft.
Teams typically are slated to have at least one selection in each of the seven rounds, but Minnesota has executed multiple trades.
