NFL draft: The Minnesota Vikings have selected at 42 three times

In the Minnesota Vikings 63 year history as a franchise, they have only selected at pick 42 three times, including CB Andrew Booth Jr.

The NFL draft is known as a crap shoot. You can find a hall of fame player just about anywhere but being able to identify them is the biggest challenge. Some teams can find great talent anywhere while others struggle to find good players in round one where it’s the easiest to identify those talents.

The Minnesota Vikings are no strangers to inconsistencies in the NFL draft and you can look at their history at pick 42 for just that. In their history, they have selected three times at the 42nd overall pick with the first happening in 1966 and the last in 2022.
