Back to EpisodesVikings' 2026 Draft: Defense, RB, WR
Description
The Minnesota Vikings, with the 18th pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, are focusing on defensive backs and tackles to fill roster holes in the secondary and linebacker corps. Theyve met with several prospects, including safety Dillon Thieneman and corner Chris Johnson, and are considering moving tackles inside to address the lack of top-shelf centers. Trade chatter suggests they might move down from the 18th pick for additional third-round picks or package late picks to climb mid-rounds. The Vikings are expected to draft a defensive back or tackle first, a linebacker second, and an offensive skill player like a receiver or runner third, aiming to strengthen their defense and boost their run game in the long term.
