2025 NFL Mock Drafts

Just plug in Booker immediately at LG and that O-line is going to be a f-ing load to deal with. Booker is also a good buddy of McCarthy's, high school friends.

That makes three recent mocks that have us taking a safety. I can definitely see the wisdom in that. Still think CB and RB are the most likely at this point, but Safety is closing fast.

Yah, I agree S is up there in need...They have Harry around for 1 more season, could mentor the kid. 

I still think they'll be tempted if the DT from Oregon is there. 

Feels like a trade-down year too with so few picks.

I think DT moved down quite a bit with the additions we made in free agency. It's still definitely among the options, but again, I think the Vikings really like the youth they have there in Jalen Redmond and Levi Drake Rodriguez.

I would love the Starks pick. If for no other reason than to see the fanbase lose their sh!t after we draft another UGA safety coming on the heels of the Cine debacle. But Cine's and Starks' games are total opposites. Cine is an in the box safety. Starks was one of the best cover safties in college ball last season. His pass coverage is so good that I could see Flores devising packages where Starks would play in the slot.

Yeah, I don't get the "Cine was a bust so Starks will be a bust" thing.

I still contend its not a position you burn a 1st round pick on unless you are taking a Sean Taylor-esque impact player. This league is littered with safeties who were high draft picks who are on their 3rd or 4th teams, and that's not just Lewis Cine. 

There's no way you draft a safety over the cornerbacks, defensive lineman, offensive lineman, or running backs that would be available for us to choose from when we pick.

I agree, but I think it depends on where you are in the 1st round and where the value is in each particular draft. I wouldn't take S, NT, IOL or off ball LB in the top 15, but in the 20s it makes more sense.

I wouldn't even look at one before the mid second round as a general rule. The Harrison Smith's of the world are like unicorns and more times than not you end up with the Lewis Cine's of the world. Use premium picks at premium positions of impact. Lineman, quarterbacks, pass rushers, corners, and skill position players on offense (dudes that score points). Hoping Kwesi figured out that you build a roster from the front to the back, and not the opposite way around.

I like this outcome with no trades. Phillips is a very good NT and he will fit in well with what we did in FA. I am just very high on Harvey. Revel Jr is the CB we need that we don't have. I like Pace, but he is atrocious in pass defense. We need an upgrade there.
