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.
Pro Football Network’s Ian Cummings recently released the latest way-too-early 2027 NFL mock draft of the cycle, which has the team going with a replacement for Brian O’Neill at offensive tackle. He has them projected to land the former top offensive lineman recruit in the nation, Jordan Seaton.
Cummings explains the Seaton pick, writing, “Having allowed a true dropback pressure percentage of just 2.3% in 2025, Jordan Seaton’s NFL Draft ascent has been heavily anticipated. Now, he’ll get to prove himself against SEC competition as LSU’s blindside blocker. . .Seaton is an elite physical talent with certain soft skills that bode well for his development into a franchise cornerstone, and for a team nearing a junction point with veteran Brian O’Neill, he could be the right player to carry the torch.”
Early returns on Seaton at LSU show he has really started to work on his build and is taking the prep for 2026 seriously. He could become a top 10 pick, but if the Vikings want to make a move at tackle, Seaton would be a homerun selection.
