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 7 months. Before then, though, there will be plenty of speculation and buildup about the team, and who they may add through the draft in a class many are calling one of generational wealth.
Bleacher Report recently released the latest 2027 NFL mock draft of the cycle, which has the team going with a quarterback who was falling down the board. Oregon's Dante Moore started the year in contention for being the top pick in the draft; now he barely is in the first round.
They explain the pick, writing, "Kyler Murray could earn a contract extension this offseason depending on how the Minnesota
Vikings finish the campaign. Murray has transitioned well into Kevin O'Connell's scheme, while the coach continues to implement plays that help accentuate the quarterback's strengths. Even if Murray does re-sign, Oregon's Dante Moore isn't unfamiliar with sitting for a year, and the Vikings could have a succession plan in place after their last attempt went awry."
Moore is an interesting choice as someone who has all the tools but has just not had the year everyone expected. Pairing him with Kevin O'Connell and his staff would be interesting as well so it would be a fun fit and one that makes sense for the Vikings.
