The Minnesota Vikings have made strategic additions to strengthen their roster during the draft, focusing on the offensive line and enhancing their defense. Notably, Donovan Jackson, a versatile lineman from Ohio State, was selected to bolster protection for quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who is expected to be a cornerstone of the franchise.

In the linebacker corps, Kobe King, noted for his tackling prowess and strong frame, is set to compete for a role as a run stuffer alongside Brian Asamoah II. With an impressive run-defense grade, King’s presence could be a key factor in the Vikings' defensive success moving forward.
