The 2026 NFL Draft will take place in Pittsburgh next April, a city that could be where the Vikings select the next star they add to their roster in hopes of righting the proverbial ship. Before next April, though, there will be plenty of speculation and buildup for the team and who they may add to the roster through the draft.
PFF's Dalton Wasserman recently released the latest 2026 NFL mock draft of the cycle has the team focusing on defense once again. He has the Vikings giving the secondary help by drafting Aveion Terrell in round one. He has been mocked time and again to the Vikings and is a pick that makes a ton of sense for both parties.
Wasserman explains the Terrell pick, writing, "Minnesota could use another playmaker in its cornerback room. Clemson’s Avieon Terrell could provide just that after tallying three interceptions, eight forced fumbles and 17 pass breakups during his three seasons at Clemson."
The more interesting picks in the mock go to where they land in the second and third rounds. He gave them Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price in round two and Pittsburgh linebacker Kyle Louis in round three. The Louis pick is one that has seen him rise up the ranks in the draft community and would be one that helps the Vikings linebacker room.
