Vikings Draft 2020: Five-year history of the 25th overall pick

The Minnesota Vikings hold the 25th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Who are some of the players that have recently been selected in that slot?

As most know by now, the Minnesota Vikings have the 25th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. While this year’s Senior Bowl and Scouting Combine have helped shed the light on who might be available when the Vikings are on the clock, it’s still hard to know for sure who they’ll be taking.

What we can do is go back and look at a sample size of players who were selected at No. 25 in the last five years.

We can look at how these players have fared and see what kind of success rate guys chosen in this slot tend to have. We can find out if the majority of the choices have been on offense or defense or if the pick was traded for other selections. We can also look at who else was on the board and just get a sense of the overall value of picking toward the end of the first round.

So let’s look back, starting in 2015, at every player drafted at pick No. 25. Minnesota will hope that it’s been a spot that usually produces a star player, or at worst case, has had some star players available that the teams who chose there regretfully passed on.
