The 2025-26 NFL Season is just around the corner and analysts are starting to release their mock drafts. ESPN’s Field Yates released his first mock draft, having the New England Patriots select a defensive player with the 8th overall pick in next year’s draft.

The Vikings are coming off a draft with limited picks, but they're now heading into 2026 reloaded. General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah has shown he can build a roster through free agency, but the draft remains a work in progress.

Of note, Texas redshirt sophomore quarterback Arch Manning is not included due to a lack of sample size and the belief that he’ll return to school for the 2026 season.

The Indianapolis Colts have named their starting quarterback for their Week 1 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
