The Vikings have eight total selections in the 2017 NFL Draft. Minnesota is scheduled to select from the 48th, 79th, 86th, 120th, 128th, 160th, 199th and 232nd spots.

Each of those slots has been used at least once in previous years by the Vikings, who tabbed linebacker Kentrell Brothers in 2016 when they selected from the 160th spot for the first time in franchise history. In 2015, linebacker Edmond Robinson became the ninth player to be selected by the Vikings from the 232nd overall spot.
