The Minnesota Vikings added six new players in the 2023 NFL Draft, headlining the event with the 1st-Round selection of wide receiver Jordan Addison from USC.
General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah could’ve traveled about 10 different avenues with the first pick between various positions and staying put, trading up, or trading down.
The Vikings Biggest Winner from Draft
This is was the Vikings draft haul:
- R1: Jordan Addison (WR, USC)
- R3: Mekhi Blackmon (CB, USC)
- R4: Jay Ward (S, LSU)
- R5: Jaquelin Roy (DT, LSU)
- R5: Jaren Hall (QB, BYU)
- R7: DeWayne McBride (RB, UAB)
And based on that six-person list, one existing Vikings member was the undisputed ‘winner’ of the three-day festivity — linebacker Brian Asamoah.
