After $30 Million Blitz, Vikings Could Make Wild Draft Move

   

Aaron Jones, Minnesota Vikings

he Minnesota Vikings could opt for “chaos” at the top of the 2025 draft. It could prove to be a career-defining class for general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. He had a strong showing in free agency.

ESPN’s Peter Schrager projected Adofo-Mensah, armed with four selections, to use one on a running back.

Schrader projected Omarion Hampton to the Vikings at No. 24 overall.

“The Vikings have needs elsewhere and wouldn’t list running back as a clear hole on their roster,” Schrager wrote on April 23. “But if Hampton is on the board, he’d be a wonderful addition to a young core that the organization hopes can grow old together.”

“A running back at No. 24 would be the chaos pick for the Vikings, which I would never oppose,” ESPN’s Kevin Seifert posted on X in reaction to Schrager’s prediction.

Hampton is widely viewed as the second-best back in the draft class and could help the Vikings.
