The 2026 NFL Draft will take place in Pittsburgh next April, a city that could be where the Vikings select the next star they add to their roster in hopes of righting the proverbial ship. Before next April, though, there will be plenty of speculation and buildup for the team and who they may add to the roster through the draft.
PFF’s Gordon McGuinness recently released the latest 2026 NFL mock draft of the cycle, but went three rounds instead of just one. Within it, the Vikings get some much-needed secondary help from Clemson cornerback Aveion Terrell in the first round of it. The ACC defender has become a popular mock draft pick for the team in recent weeks and would be a fun piece in Brian Flores’ defense.

McGuinness explains the Terrell pick, writing, “Terrell secured PFF overall grades above 80.0 in each of the past two seasons, playing almost 1,500 defensive snaps in that span. In addition to his coverage skills, he is a willing run defender who earned an 85.2 PFF run-defense grade in 2025.”
The team’s other two picks address the defensive line in Illinois defender Gabe Jacas and running back Jadarian Price. Both would be able to be plugged in immediately and produce meaningful reps as rookies due to their explosive ability and instincts at both positions.
