The Vikings completed their offseason mission of completely overhauling the interior offensive line by taking guard Donovan Jackson in the first round of the NFL draft Thursday night.

The NFC North is loaded with intrigue, from the Chicago Bears getting a new coach for Caleb Williams to the Detroit Lions restocking after a stunning No. 1-seed exit to the Green Bay Packers looking to stay healthy around Jordan Love.

The Minnesota Vikings only had five picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, but they maximized them by addressing needs. They hope to get at least one Day 1 starter and another immediate contributor from the class. If the other three can be regular contributors in 2025, the class will be a success.
