The 2027 NFL Draft will take place in Washington, D.C. next year. In that draft, the Vikings still have their first-round pick, but a lot could happen in the next 12 months. Before then, though, there will be plenty of speculation and buildup for the team and who they may add to the roster through the draft in a class that many are saying could be one of generational wealth.
While we will always look at mock drafts from analysts around the space, we will also keep up with our Mock Draft Mondays here on Vikings Wire.
While this used to be just an exercise used for the Fall to introduce players, the 2027 NFL Draft class is too good to be contained to those select months. Instead, we are going to do them in the Summer as well as we progress through Summer Scouting, look at the roster more through camps, and also share our opinion on players fans can watch this upcoming college season.
So with that in mind, let's dive into a 3-Round 2027 NFL Mock Draft for the Vikings.
Round 1: Quincy Rhodes Jr., Edge, Arkansas
While we have been diving into the offensive tackle group of the 2027 NFL Draft, we have noticed Quincy Rhodes Jr. flashing tons of brilliance against opponents. He explodes off the snap, uses his hand speed to overwhelm tackles, and he would provide a spark to the Vikings' pass rush. The team is going to miss Jonathan Greenard in 2026, and while Dallas Turner is poised for a massive breakout, he needs some help opposite him.
Round 2: Ty Benefield, S, LSU
