Vikings get a new offensive tackle in 2027 NFL Mock Draft

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. The Athletic's Dane Brugler recently released the latest way-too-early 2027 NFL mock draft of the cycle, which has the team going offensive tackle in a surprising twist.

He had them land Trevor Goosby out of Texas, who could have declared in the 2026 NFL Draft, but went back to Texas for one more season. Brugler explains the Goosby pick, writing, "The fourth Longhorn in the top 12, Goosby got better throughout the 2025 season. If he can continue to build off that production, he will be an easy first-round projection.

" Goosby would likely be used to replace Brian O'Neill, as they still remain heavily invested in Christian Darrisaw, and the results are in his favor. O'Neill is getting up there in age, and for a team trying to spend consciously, it could make sense to move on sooner rather than later.
