Vikings Sign Multiple Top UDFAs Following NFL Draft

The Minnesota Vikings have concluded their 2025 NFL Draft and undrafted free agent signings, acquiring five draft picks, backup quarterback Sam Howell, and a notable group of undrafted players. Key draft moves included bolstering the quarterback position with J.J. McCarthy as the projected starter, and addressing depth across the roster, although the team notably did not add to the secondary or invest heavily at running back. Among undrafted free agents, tight end Benjamin Yurosek and edge rusher Tyler Batty are highlighted as promising additions, with Yurosek praised for his versatility and Batty for his effort and athleticism despite some limitations. The competition for final roster spots is expected to be intense, especially at tight end and wide receiver, where undrafted players like Robert Lewis will try to earn roles primarily through special teams or practice squad placements. Changes to the offensive line and linebacker groups suggest some incumbents may lose starting roles due to new acquisitions. Overall, the Vikings' offseason strategy reflects a focus on competition and depth across key positions.
