Compensatory pick.

Should be a 1st & a 3rd, fucker won the Lombardi…!

Speaking of comp picks, shouldn’t the Vikings get comp from the Daronte Jones Defensive Coordinator minority hire/promotion in DC?  

Update: no dice, minority comp picks apparently only for Head Coaches & GM hires.

That pick better end up an All Pro player for us!

So is this what we have including compensatory picks (one)?
Round 1 - Pick 18
Round 2 – Pick 49 (pick 17)
Round 3 – Pick 82 (pick 18)
Round 3 – Pick 97 (compensatory #33)
Round 5 – Pick 161 (pick 23)
Round 6 – Pick 194 (pick 15)
Round 7 – Pick 234 (pick 18)
Round 7 – Pick 240 (pick 24)

Four picks in the first three rounds.
I like that better than Trader 'Ric getting a boatload of 6th and 7th rounders who were never going to make the roster.

That looks right MT.  I believe we have three round 7 picks, nine picks in total.

Round 7 ... our original pick, one from Cam Akers trade in 2024, and one from Adam Thielen trade in 2025

Thanks...I updated this from the latest post from the team site and I believe this is now accurate:
Round 1 - Pick 18
Round 2 – Pick 49 (pick 17)
Round 3 – Pick 82 (pick 18)
Round 3 – Pick 97 (compensatory #33)
Round 5 – Pick 163 (pick 25)
Round 6 – Pick 196 (pick 17)
Round 7 - Pick 234 (pick 18)
Round 7 – Pick 235 (pick 19)
Round 7 – Pick 240 (pick 24)

I really think they should get rid of the comp picks, think they really hurt the draft. We made a terrible move not resigning Darnold, why should we get awarded with a #3 for that. Every team has the ability to manage their cap and keep their own players, they should not get free picks for guys they no longer wanted or did feel was worth the salary.

Well it’s not a reward, it’s a trade off, & in this case not a very good one at that. It’s part of a formula or strategy that smart teams take advantage of. Teams can’t afford to sign or retain all their players, hence the compensatory system.

Nada for Daniel Jones? Harrumph!
