Day 2 of the NFL Draft is officially underway! The Vikings currently hold 1 pick today (No. 97).

Predictions for tonight?

The #Vikings are closing out the night picking Maryland WR Tai Felton at No. 102 overall. The 6-foot-2 receiver caught 96 passes for 1,124 yards and 9 TDs last year; ran a 4.37 40 at the combine.

The Vikings have made their third pick of the draft. It's Georgia DL Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at No. 139, the first pick of Round 5. Their next scheduled pick is coming up soon at No. 142.

The Vikings have traded pick No. 142 for Sam Howell and No. 172.

Vikings potentially got a steal in Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins. This kid can flat out PLAY. Elite athletic profile that only improved as the year went on for Georgia. All the tools to become a high impact player with plus bend and explosiveness. Still learning to put it all together,

Really good thoughts here from Ryan Grigson on Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins fit with Vikings and Brian Flores's defense:

The Vikings' picks: R1 (No. 24): OL Donovan Jackson R3 (No. 102): WR Tai Felton R5 (No. 139): DL Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins R6 (No. 201): LB Kobe King R6 (No. 202): TE Gavin Bartholomew

Mike Clay gives the Vikings offensive and defensive lines a 9, which combined gives the Vikings an 18 which is the highest trench grade for any team in the NFL. How about that? Fire Kwesi, right?

Special.

BREAKING: The Vikings and superstar OLB Andrew Van Ginkel have agreed to a 1-year, $23M extension, keeping him in Minnesota through 2026.

"Liked by JJ McCarthy"

The Vikings are expected to host the Lions at US Bank Stadium on Christmas Day, per Ben Goessling.

Lot of good stuff at Vikings OTAs today. It's early — EARLY — but thought J.J. McCarthy looked like the same guy who was starting to really impress late last fall. Same zip, anticipation, bounce. Almost all of the starters were present and active.

The Vikings have announced a multi-year contract extension with GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah.
