Five Vikings Draft Picks Face Make-or-Break Year in 2026

In the wake of Kwesi Adofo-Mensahs departure, five players drafted under his tenure must prove their worth in 2026.

Felton, Bartholomew, Ingram-Dawkins, and Drake-Rodriguez all have potential, but Ward is in his final rookie deal year, making 2026 a crucial season for the Vikings rebuild.
