I think we all do, to be honest
We’ve got the results of our SB Nation Reacts results for this week, and it seems like fans of the Minnesota Vikings are expecting our favorite team to be active over the course of this NFL Draft weekend.
We asked you, the readers, how many picks you think the Vikings will make over the course of this year’s selection meeting. Keeping in mind that the purple are only heading into this year’s draft with four selections, the responses tell us that the majority of us are looking for some wheeling and dealing.
Of those who responded to our poll, a 54% majority expect that the Vikings will find a way to turn their four selections into six over the course of this Draft weekend. Another 33% are expecting them to make five selections, which might be a bit of a disappointment, but we’ll have to see how things fall.
The other two options in our poll didn’t get nearly as much support. There were 7% of our respondents who believe that the Vikings will either just stay with four selections or, somehow, make even fewer, while 6% are expecting Kwesi Adofo-Mensah to channel his inner Rick Spielman and turn the four selections the team currently has into at least seven picks somehow. I don’t know if things are going to get that crazy this weekend, but I wouldn’t expect the Vikings to just sit on their hands, either.
It will be a while before the Vikings make their selection. . .or trade it away. . .in Thursday night’s first round. But we’ll be doing our best to keep tabs on all of the selections this year, including the Top 5. One of the nationwide questions from the Reacts folks this week included a consensus Top 5 in the first round. Here are those top five picks, courtesy of our friends at FanDuel.
There have been some rumors that one of our NFC North rivals, the Chicago Bears, might be looking to move into the Top 5 to try to get their hands on running back Ashton Jeanty. I hope it doesn’t happen, because. . .well, Jeanty is really good and he’d make the Bears a lot better. However, if the Top 5 teams stay in place, those picks all look pretty solid to me. What do you think of the Top 5?
Those are the results of our SB Nation Reacts poll for this week, ladies and gentlemen. We will undoubtedly have some more of these once the dust has settled and the smoke has cleared from the 2025 NFL Draft. Thank you to everyone who took the time to participate in this week’s survey!
