The Minnesota Vikings added Georgia TE Ben Yurosek as an undrafted free agent after the 2025 NFL draft. Yurosek is a tall, linear-framed Y-TE with length and a strong catch radius. Yurosek is a solid athlete in a straight line to push upfield without defenders restricting his access to grass. He opens his stride to be a competitive seam runner.

CBS Sports’ Pete Prisco shared his grades of all 32 NFL teams and added the picks he liked, the ones he didn’t like, and his overall view of their drafts. Prisco gave the Vikings a low C+ as he started by looking at his favorite pick of the Vikings, Maryland wide receiver Tai Felton.

The Minnesota Vikings only had five picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, but they maximized them by addressing needs. They hope to get at least one Day 1 starter and another immediate contributor from the class. If the other three can be regular contributors in 2025, the class will be a success.

Multiple media reported Saturday afternoon that the Minnesota Vikings had made another draft-day trade, exchanging fifth-round picks with Seattle and giving the Vikings the rights to Sam Howell. CBS Sports reported earlier in the week that General Manager John Schneider said the Seahawks have gotten calls about Howell.

The Minnesota Vikings have made their quarterback plans clear, with J.J. McCarthy set to start and signing a new backup. With Aaron Rodgers out of the picture, the team is looking to build a strong foundation for the future.
