Now that the divisional round is over and the Vikings are eliminated from playoff contention, we know the Vikings will pick 25th overall in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
The last time the Vikings picked 25th was back in 2013 when they drafted Xavier Rhodes. Ironically, they could be drafting his replacement seven years later.
The Vikings also selected defensive tackle Chris Hovan (2000), defensive tackle James White (1976), defensive end Mark Mullaney (1975), tackle Steve Riley (1974) and guard John Ward (1970) with the 25th overall in team history.
Other notable players taken 25th-overall in NFL history include Ted Washington, Vontae Davis and Dont’a Hightower.
The Vikings have a selection in the first, second, third, fourth and six rounds, along with two seventh-round pick. They don’t have their fifth-round pick after trading for Kaare Vedvik in preseason.
