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):

First round

Second round

Third round

Fifth round (from Philadelphia in the 2025 Sam Howell trade)

Sixth round (from Indianapolis in the 2025 Mekhi Blackmon trade)

Seventh round (original)

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.

Where did the other selections go?

Fourth round:Minnesota sent this pick to Jacksonville in October 2024 in exchange for Cam Robinson.

Fifth round (original selection):Minnesota sent this selection to Carolina as part of the trade to acquire Thielen in August 2025.

Sixth round (original selection):The Vikings sent this pick to San Francisco in the trade to acquire Jordan Mason in March 2025. Prior to this deal, the selection was initially sent in 2024 to Houston to acquire Cam Akers. The Texans sent the selection back to the Vikings to acquire Ed Ingram in March 2025. After the pick was re-acquired by Minnesota, it was dealt for Mason.

Sixth round (from New York Jets for Harrison Phillips):This selection was sent to Philadelphia as part of the trade that sent Sam Howell to the Eagles in August 2025.
