2026 Free Agency and Draft: WR/TE
Probably little chance we can draft him since he'll likely go somewhere between our picks at 18 and 49, but Omar Cooper Jr is my first real draft crush of 2026. His body control and RAC is remarkable. I don't care what he measures; I don't care what he times; OCJ is going be a weapon in the NFL.
When asked if the #Vikings will sign or draft a wide receiver, @BenGoessling had this to say, via @KFAN1003:

Not much tread left. But an alternative if we don’t draft one.

I'd be surprised if Tyson went that high too. The injury history is legit. He's also got better movement skills than any WR in this draft and it's not particularly close. I'd start getting interested in the late teens, somewhere between 17 and 19. Curious to see if he tweaks another hammy at his pro day tomorrow.

…the X-factor with a WR like Stribling - dude has some shock in those mitts!!

Will rock some CBs out wide… also willing/efficient as a blocker inside digging out S/LBs. Size, speed, hands, beat press, multiple WR spots, football character… Checks a lot of boxes! pic.twitter.com/pyWmWfKTci

Happens every year. You identify some great values in the 4th round, but by the time the draft rolls around they're 2nd round picks. I see that with Hurst and Stribling. Bryce Lance could be another.
Jordan Tyson only ran routes and did not run a 40 at his pro day this afternoon as he continues to recover from the hamstring injury. How that effects his draft stock is anybody guess.

20-25 routes, but apparently he calmed the nerves regarding his health.
