With the 2026 NFL Draft just two days away, The Real Forno Show delivers the ultimate Vikings draft guide using horizontal big boards on both offense and defense. Tyler Forness and Dave Stefano break down why this tool beats traditional vertical big boards for projecting Minnesota Vikings picks, share a predictive mock draft, and discuss front-office red flags.
In this must-watch episode of The Real Forno Show on Vikings 1st & SKOL, Tyler Forness and producer Dave Stefano explain the horizontal big board ā the most intuitive way to project where players should go. āInstead of ranking players 1-100, you put them on the board based on where you would take them in the draft,ā Forness notes. The duo contrasts it with vertical big boards, showing how the horizontal format factors in talent, injury history, roster needs, and positional value for the Vikings at pick 18 and beyond.
⢠Front-office concerns: Forness reacts to Rob Brzezinskiās media comments, calling the āvery little changesā in the draft room āa major red flagā and questioning whether the Vikings are simply betting that Kwesi Adofo-Mensah was the only problem.
⢠Jonathan Greenard trade rumors: The hosts discuss real Eagles interest and why trading the star edge rusher would be ābad processā despite potential draft capital.
⢠Vikings horizontal boards: Full defensive and offensive graphics break down realistic options at pick 18, deepest position groups (CB, S, EDGE), and value in rounds 4-7.
Rob Brzezinski indicated that almost nothing will change in the Vikings draft room, which could be alarming for fans.
Trade discussions regarding Jonathan Greenard are heating up again just before the 2026 NFL Draft.
Horizontal big boards project player selections based on where they would be taken in the draft, considering factors like talent and roster needs, unlike traditional vertical boards.
