6 bold predictions for the Vikings in the 2023 NFL Draft

The Minnesota Vikings head into one of the most important drafts in franchise history, but what could happen when they're on the clock?

After weeks of speculation, athletic testing, and rumors, the Minnesota Vikings have finally made it to draft week. What is usually a celebration among fans has a different feel ahead of the 2023 NFL Draft as the Vikings not only need to improve a team that won 13 games last season but set themselves up for the future.

Minnesota has a lot of questions to answer in this year's draft, including how to fix a defense that ranked toward the bottom of the league that has a new defensive coordinator in Brian Flores. The Vikings also could use another receiver, as Justin Jefferson and K.J. Osborn are the only receivers with ample experience on the roster.

But the biggest question of all is what the Vikings are going to do at quarterback. Minnesota has reportedly done extensive research on this year's quarterback class, and it has led to speculation that they could trade up in the draft or select a quarterback with the 23rd overall pick.

Whatever Minnesota decides to do, it's sure to be unpredictable. But in this article, we'll make five bold predictions on what the Vikings could do in the 2023 NFL Draft.
