List of Minnesota Vikings first - round draft picks The Minnesota Vikings joined the National Football League ( NFL ) in 1961 . The Vikings ' first selection as an NFL team was Tommy Mason , a running back from Tulane University . The team ' s most recent first - round selections were Matt Kalil , an offensive tackle from the University of Southern California , and safety Harrison Smith out of Notre Dame . Every April , each NFL franchise seeks to add new players to its roster through a collegiate draft known as the " NFL Annual Player Selection Meeting " , more commonly known as the NFL Draft . Teams are ranked in reverse order based on the previous season ' s record , with team with the worst record picking first , the team with the second - worst record picking second , and so on . The two exceptions to this order are made for teams that appeared in the previous Super Bowl ; the Super Bowl champion always picks last , and the Super Bowl loser always picks second - last . Teams have the option of trading away their picks to other teams for different picks , players , cash , or a combination thereof . Thus , it is not uncommon for a team ' s actual draft pick to differ from their assigned draft pick , or for a team to have extra or no draft picks in any round due to these trades . The Vikings have selected number one overall twice . The Vikings received the first pick in 1961 as an expansion franchise and then again in 1968 when the franchise chose Ron Yary , an offensive tackle from the University of Southern California .
