The Vikings are on the cusp of missing the playoffs after a 14-win season in 2024. Here's a look at their NFL Draft needs and potential fits.

Last offseason, the Atlanta Falcons traded up into the first round of the 2025 NFL draft to select edge rusher James Pearce Jr. with the 26th overall pick. Pearce currently leads all rookies with eight sacks and has recorded at least one in each of his last six games.

While it is still early in the scouting and draft process, this appears like it is going to be a strong class in terms of talented shortstops. In the mock draft, Callis had the Chicago White Sox taking the extremely talented Roch Cholowsky from UCLA with the first overall pick.

As it currently stands, the Dallas Cowboys hold pick No. 28 via the Green Bay Packers stemming from the mid-season Micah Parsons trade. This will allow Dallas to secure another key defensive player for their squad and tap into the Ohio State program for a second time.

Peterson, Dybantsa and Boozer remain the clear prizes of the draft -- but plenty others have risen after strong starts this season

The Rangers took their first high school player in the first round since 2018 last July when they selected shortstop Gavin Fien out of Great Oak High School in Temecula, Calif. The last prep player drafted by Texas was current relief pitcher Cole Winn, a prep pitcher out of Lutheran High School in Orange, Calif.
