2006 NFL Draft Order

The Vikings are scheduled to draft 17th on April 29.

NOTES: Draft-order ties: The cumulative record of each team’s opponents is used as the tie-breaker. The team with the weaker opponents receives drafting priority. Within a tied segment (teams with same record), teams that are not in the playoffs will be given priority. Teams within a tied segment that are involved in the playoffs will be seeded according to their progress in the playoffs. Teams will not drop out of a tied segment unless they advance to the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl champion selects last (32nd) and the runner-up selects 31st.
