Since we haven’t got a whole lot in the way of actual, breaking Minnesota Vikings news to talk about at the moment, let’s talk for a minute about the 2026 NFL Draft. Specifically, what extra picks the Minnesota Vikings could get from the Compensatory Pick process.
As discussed in previous posts here, the Vikings are currently set to receive two Compensatory selections in 2026. They’re slated to receive a third-round pick for the loss of Sam Darnold and a fifth-round pick for the loss of Daniel Jones. The Jones selection could, from my understanding, become a fourth-round pick based on his playing time in Indianapolis.
