The Minnesota Vikings may not have a general manager for the 2026 NFL draft, but with three picks in the top 100 and nine overall, they’re well-equipped to add some impactful talent.<\/p>\n
The Vikings fired general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah<\/a> earlier this offseason, in large part due to his lack of drafting success. They haven’t yet hired his permanent replacement, and team owners have said they don’t plan to until after the draft. In the meantime, Executive Vice President of Football Operations Rob Brzezinski is running the show.<\/p>\n Despite disappointing quarterback play last season, the Vikings finished 9-8 and narrowly missed the playoffs. They have already addressed QB, signing Arizona Cardinals castoff Kyler Murray<\/a>, but the roster still has plenty of holes to fill on both sides of the ball.\u00a0<\/p>\n Here is every pick the Vikings have heading into the 2026 NFL draft. The tally may change, even during the draft, should the Vikings make any trades.<\/p>\n Round one, 18th overallRound two, 49th overallRound three, 82nd overallRound three, 97th overallRound five, 163rd overallRound six, 196th overallRound seven, 234th overallRound seven, 235th overallRound seven, 244th overall<\/p>\n The Vikings haven’t made four picks in the top 100 since 2022, Adofo-Mensah’s first year as GM. They took safety Lewis Cine<\/a> (No. 32), cornerback Andrew Booth (No. 42), guard Ed Ingram<\/a> (No. 59) and linebacker Brian Asamoah (No. 66). None of those players remain on the roster.<\/p>\n The NFL draft will take place April 23-35 in Pittsburgh. Last month, Minnesota formally submitted a bid to host the 2028 draft<\/a>.<\/p>\n
