The Minnesota Vikings don’t have a clear-cut starting center lined up for 2026 after Ryan Kelly’s retirement, and if the franchise doesn’t land one of the draft’s top prospects at the position, Miami Dolphins center Aaron Brewer may be available via trade. Brewer gives Minnesota another path if the draft board gets tricky. The Miami […]

The Minnesota Vikings recently used a pre-draft visit on Kentucky running back Seth McGowan, who will turn 25 in October. Some rookies haven’t turned 21 yet. It’s the latest in an obvious pattern of Minnesota doing homework on halfbacks, so much so that it might be strange for the team to leave the draft without […]

Are you itching for the Minnesota Vikings to draft a cornerback early in the draft? If so, it may not be in Round 1, says one popular analyst. Minnesota could bypass the cornerback early and trust its board. The Athletic‘s Alec Lewis, who is plugged into the Vikings’ interworkings, claimed this week that cornerback may […]

For the first time in seven years, it feels like the Minnesota Vikings are on the brink of drafting a rookie running back in the first four rounds or so of the NFL draft — and all the hints are pointing at Nebraska tailback Emmett Johnson. Johnson has become one of the cleaner RB matches […]

Thirteen months ago, the Minnesota Vikings took a flyer on former 1st-Round cornerback Jeff Okudah in free agency, and the experiment did not work. Okudah succumbed to injuries and poor performance, so much so that he remains a free agent in 2026. And according to SI.com, Okudah could eventually make his way to the Miami […]

Louis Riddick has worked as an NFL player, executive, analyst — and now he’s a predictor of J.J. McCarthy’s endgame in Minnesota. Riddick’s take revives the Murray-McCarthy debate in Minnesota. Minnesota just drafted McCarthy two years ago as its possible quarterback of the future, but with the offseason acquisition of Kyler Murray, Riddick fears the […]

Some don’t believe the Minnesota Vikings can keep Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy in the same quarterback room — it’s unclear why that’s not possible — which has created a handful of McCarthy trade rumors. One such example lands McCarthy with the Pittsburgh Steelers via trade, according to NFL writer Sayre Bedinger. The latest McCarthy […]

The Minnesota Vikings are doing their homework on rookie backs for next week, and they’ll probably leave the draft with one. That’s the good news. The bad news? Notre Dame’s Jadarian Price may not be available. Price’s draft momentum may force Minnesota to pivot at running back. Price is increasingly being discussed as a late […]

The keyword, folks, is tiny. Several things still need to happen for the Vikings’ dream trade scenario to become a reality. Acquiring DT Dexter Lawrence, a tremendous talent who would form a deadly duo with Jalen Redmond, would instantly supercharge Minnesota’s defensive line. The All Pro is looking to leave New York behind, so it’s […]

The Minnesota Vikings own the draft’s 18th overall pick next week, and while many onlookers don’t expect them to draft a tight end, Oregon’s Kenyon Sadiq might be too hard to ignore, especially if Minnesota embraces the popular “best player available” philosophy. And wouldn’t you know it? The Vikings — you guessed it — formally […]

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Isaiah Rodgers recruited Kenny Moore II on Instagram over the weekend, and it just so happens that a credible NFL insider believes Moore II could, indeed, land with the Vikings via trade. Minnesota has CB questions, and Moore fits the veteran-insurance lane. Albert Breer opined on Moore II’s future Monday after he […]

Some fans want the Minnesota Vikings to draft a defensive tackle like Peter Woods or Kayden McDonald in Round 1, but the club could wait until the following day by picking “Big Citrus” Domonique Orange. The Vikings may need a DT, and Orange looks like one of the more realistic paths. Minnesota met with Orange […]

The draft is fast approaching, and I’m on record with my opinion that trading down from 18th overall could be the smart move for the Minnesota Vikings this year. Who are the best options in the Vikings draft that could be available later in the first round if acting general manager Rob Brzezinski does pull the trigger […]

It felt like the Minnesota Vikings found a revelation in 2025 with return man Myles Price. But did you ever wonder why the speedster barely played on offense? Well, Price wants to change that. Minnesota still needs WR depth, and Price has at least earned a longer look. Needing more WR oomph in 2026, Minnesota […]

Just when Minnesota Vikings fans expressed the utmost enthusiasm that Kyler Murray entered the mix at quarterback, Bleacher Report came along for the buzzkill. That outlet ranked the NFL’s worst quarterback situations heading into 2026, and Minnesota made the cut. The outside view on Minnesota’s QB plan remains rough, even with upside still on the […]

If the Vikings had a main man going into the 2026 NFL Draft, then Oregon’s Dillon Thieneman would have to be the clear winner. The athletic Duck was featured within a recent ESPN update. The premise of the article involves highlighting the “draft risers.” Jeff Legwold, the author, writes, “With the 2026 NFL draft less […]
