Still, the Vikings have only two picks in the top 100 in this year’s draft, which will be held April 25-27 in Detroit. The Vikings don’t have a second-rounder after Friday’s trade or a third-rounder, which was sent to Detroit as part of the trade for tight end T.J. Hockenson in 2022.
The Vikings’ first-round picks are now 11th and 23rd. They have twice drafted in the top 11 over the past 10 years, selecting linebacker Anthony Barr with the ninth overall pick in 2014 and cornerback Trae Waynes at No. 11 the following year.
