Vikings select Khyree Jackson in 4th round

The Minnesota Vikings selected Oregon cornerback Khyree Jackson in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, No. 108 overall.

Jackson took over a starting job in 2023 and led Oregon in interceptions and passes defended.

The 24-year-old will instantly provide depth to the Vikings' secondary and has all the tools to blossom into a starter.

Pre-draft profile

Safety reps could be in Jackson's future thanks to his already top-notch size, tackling ability, and mentality. He's a viable corner when covering in the first two levels. However, his lack of elite speed means he'll need safety help over the top against deep threats. Jackson's hips flip slower than you'd like, exacerbating his lack of speed while highlighting his inexperience against more nuanced route-runners. The tools are there. He just needs time to put it all together.
