With the 24th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings selected Donovan Jackson, guard, Ohio State. Jackson was ranked #37 on the consensus board and the third ranked interior offensive lineman (after Tyler Booker (#31) and C/G Grey Zabel (#32)) and the third interior offensive lineman selected in the draft.
The Vikings were widely expected to trade down with this pick, given they have only four picks in this draft. Kwesi Adofo-Mensah acknowledged that there were offers to trade down, but apparently they were insufficiently compelling. It appears that the New York Giants were offering teams trading ahead of the Vikings (and likely the Vikings as well) a late third round pick (#99) and change to move up.
