<p>When the Minnesota Vikings embark on the 2025 NFL Draft in 10 days, they have just four picks on the menu, the fewest in the NFL, and an assortment that leads many to believe they’ll trade during the event.</p>
<h4>The Vikings Could Just … Get Their Draft Picks Back?</h4>
<p>In a past life, Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah worked as a trader on Wall Street, and his previous tactics have translated seamlessly to the NFL. The man trades — a lot. </p>
<p>And inside this year’s draft, he could merely get his old picks via trade — the ones he donated last year to the Jacksonville Jaguars for outside linebacker Dallas Turner. </p>

Most mock drafts — damn near all of them — expect Jacksonville to choose Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham. Of course, that’s only a theory, but it’s wildly popular.</p>

Pick No. 24

 led to multiple successes with undrafted free agents in recent years could make it more prone to stand pat, especially if the perceived value at No. 24 exceeds expectations for what could be gained by moving down. Jacksonville does have 10 selections, to go along with a history of deals with Minnesota.”</p>
<p>“The 10-spot was boosted by two selections that Minnesota sent (third round, 88th overall and fourth round, 126th overall) to the Jaguars last year as part of the deal to get the pick used on Dallas Turner, who was tabbed 17th overall.”</p>
<p>Other teams could be trade pals with Minnesota, but not every club has 10 picks like Jacksonville. </p>
