2026 NFL Mock Draft Shocker: Fernando Mendoza to Go No. 1, Commanders Snatch Surprise Star Jeremiyah Love and More Unbelievable Picks Revealed!
18. Minnesota Vikings — Kayden McDonald, DT, Ohio State
The Vikings could use a big-time talent on the interior of their defensive line, and they get that here with McDonald. He is one of the underrated gems of this draft class, being a bit overshadowed by his teammates who were (mock) drafted prior to this pick. He has a lot of playmaking ability for a nose tackle prospect, notching an absurd 65 tackles (31 solo) with nine of them going for a loss. He also had three sacks and two forced fumbles. That level of production is a bit of an anomaly — he’d be the active run plugger this defense quietly needs in a big way.
