Why
The Minnesota Vikings' current priorities begin at pass rusher (EDGE) and cornerback (CB). Safety (S) and quarterback (QB) are the next groups that should be reinforced heading into the 2027 NFL Draft.

How he drafts
Track record read
First draft in Minnesota. Thirteen years in Seattle under John Schneider set the compass: traits over production, stays put on the board, rarely trades up. Expect a more defensive R1 (CB/EDGE) and less climbing than the Adofo-Mensah era.
The board · Rounds 1–7
Only the rounds where the team owns a pick (per Tankathon). A blend of need plus best value on the board.
First round
3 names
South Carolina
EDGEGives Minnesota pure bend to flatten the edge. Hands are still raw, but the athletic ceiling is genuinely scary.
Clemson
CBPure press length for Minnesota's boundary; he'll pay tuition against vertical burners, but his run-support physicality earns snaps right away.
Georgia
SPure deep range to protect an aggressive secondary. Lacks true ball production, but the tackling floor makes him an instant starter.
Second round
3 names
Louisville
EDGEPure get-off and bend for their edge rotation. Instant third-down weapon, but heavy personnel will push him around.
Indiana
CBPure length for Flores' outside rotation; the zone instincts play immediately, but he'll struggle with NFL size until he adds mass.
Iowa
SFills that hybrid safety-nickel role with elite anticipation. Keep him out of single-high and he's an immediate, high-floor starter.
Third round
3 names
Michigan
EDGEAdds serious first-step burst to the edge rotation. Pure upside gamble assuming that Achilles gets its pop back.
Syracuse
CBBrings the length and physical press Minnesota needs on the boundary. Zero career picks, but nobody gets an easy release against him.
UCLA
SHybrid piece to rotate between the slot and deep safety in Flores' scheme. High rotational floor, just don't expect turnover production.
