        Vikings Build WR Depth With Tai Felton

        By Shane Hallam | Updated on Sat, Apr 26 2025 12:56 PM UTC

        The Vikings selected Maryland WR Tai Felton with the 102nd pick of Round 3 in the 2025 NFL Draft. At nearly 6'1, 186 pounds, he’s a plus athlete with inside/outside versatility. Felton also brings an advanced route-running repertoire. Felton stayed four years at Mayland and boosted his production in each of the past three seasons. His final season truly stood out. Despite poor QB play, Felton racked up 96 catches, 1,124 yards, and 9 TDs. He posted strong market shares: 30.4% of the team’s catches, 34% of the receiving yards, and 42.8% of the receiving TDs. Felton also led Maryland in receiving yards and receiving TDs as a junior. He had a 9.62 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) based on his pre-draft testing. He also ranked fifth among Combine WRs in 2024 Target Share at 30.7%, and 20th among those WRs in PFF receiving grade with an 80.2. He enters the league at 22 after breaking out at age 20.5. Felton ranked 17th among WRs in our Draft Sharks pre-draft Rookie Model scoring a 6.29. We comp him to Cowboys WR Jalen Tolbert in our Rookie Guide.

        2025 Fantasy Football Impact

        Felton will compete with Jalen Nailor and Rondale Moore for playing time behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison

        His size, speed, and production profile make Felton an intriguing upside player if there is an injury in front of him, but he is unlikely to do much otherwise in 2025.

        Dynasty Impact

        Felton has the athleticism to step in for Addison if he should go down but is unlikely to present much long-term value past that.

        He could be sneaky as a plug-in player if he wins the third WR role and shows development over the next few years.
