Vikings attached to a new offensive tackle in 2027 early mock draft
The Vikings could be in the market for an offensive tackle in 2027.
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. Sharp Football's Ryan McCrystal recently released the latest way-too-early 2027 NFL mock draft of the cycle, which has the team going with a replacement for one of their star tackles.
He projects them to land Texas offensive tackle Trevor Goosby in a move that leads to some questions about the future of the roster. McCartysal explains the Goosby pick, writing, "Goosby took over for Kelvin Banks Jr. at left tackle in 2025, and the transition was nearly seamless.
The 6-foot-7 lineman is built like a prototypical left tackle and could be in the top-10 conversation if his development continues. " Goosby is my top tackle heading into the Fall after completing Summer Scouting on him. He moves so well, has sound mechanics, and has the athleticism the league has started to enjoy from their tackles.
