How Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez, already one of the most feared hitters in MLB, has elevated his game in 2026
Yordan Alvarez defies norms with his stellar performance against left-handed pitchers in 2026.
The Vikings' final mock draft includes key trades and player selections, notably DT Kayden McDonald from Ohio State at pick 24. Other notable picks include LB Jake Golday and S Jalon Kilgore.

Uar Bernard DT Nigeria 6′ 5″, 312** I do not think the team can afford to wait on McDonald or any DT for that matter. Maybe Domonique Orange, , or Caleb Banks (due to injury) will be there at #49. They certainly cannot wait until 82 unless defensive tackle is not as much of a need as most fans believe. All of the defensive tackles have things they need to work on but McDonald is really really good at stuffing the run and getting some push in the pocket. The only problem is that the Bears brought in McDonald for a visit and can easily jump ahead of 24 to get him. Here is a another mock without trades which I seriously doubt happens.
