The Vikings will keep the seventh-round draft pick they acquired in the trade involving Josh Dobbs. Originally, Minnesota traded a sixth-round pick to the Cardinals and received Dobbs along with a conditional seventh-round pick. The condition stipulated that the pick would revert to the Cardinals if Dobbs played 55% of the snaps after joining the Vikings.
Dobbs seemed poised to surpass this requirement, taking over early in his first game with Minnesota and leading them to a win against Atlanta. He continued to start, performing well against New Orleans but struggling in subsequent games. After being benched for Nick Mullens, Dobbs saw limited action and eventually became the third-string quarterback.
Ultimately, Dobbs played in 49.6% of the snaps during his time with the Vikings, ensuring that the seventh-round draft pick remains with Minnesota. With this addition, the Vikings now hold nine picks in the upcoming draft.
