NFL draft: Vikings Wire staff predicts Minnesota’s first draft pick

In our final prediction piece of the NFL Draft cycle, Vikings Wire’s staff predicts who the Minnesota Vikings will take with their 1st pick.

The NFL draft is a land of magic and wonder. General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah made things interesting last year by not making a single pick where he was originally scheduled to do so. How could he make things interesting this year?

Our staff at Vikings Wire got together and talked about the draft on many levels. In our first piece, we each made one bold prediction for the Vikings on draft weekend. In our second one, we advocated for the one player we want the Vikings to draft. In our third piece, we talked about the one player we don’t want the Vikings to select in the NFL draft. In our fourth piece, our staff predicted the quarterback of the future.

In our final piece, we predicted the Vikings first draft pick in the 2023 NFL draft.
