Vikings land a new QB in Way-Too-Early Mock Draft for 2027
The Vikings get a new QB for the future of the franchise in this latest 2027 Way-Too-Early 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 Ringer's Todd McShay recently released the latest way-too-early 2027 NFL mock draft of the cycle, which has the team going quarterback in a surprising twist.
He had them land new Miami Hurricane quarterback, Darian Mensah. Last year at Duke, he showcased his athleticism and ability to make throws in chaos and off-platform. McShay explains the Mensah pick, writing, "Mensah has some serious upside.
I thought there was a chance he’d declare for the 2026 draft, but I think he made the right call in transferring to Miami from Duke (he played at Tulane in 2024). Here’s hoping he makes the same leap that Cam Ward and Carson Beck did once they made their way to Coral Gables. " The Vikings seem to be ready to move on from J.
