Just Say No: 5 Players Vikings MUST Avoid at Pick 18 | The Real Forno Show🎙️🏈

Vikings Draft Preview: 5 Players to Avoid at Pick 18, Top Sleepers, and a Trade-Back Mock Draft — Tyler Forno and Producer Dave preview the Vikings’ draft week plans and discuss which prospects Minnesota should avoid at pick 18 based on scheme fit, positional value, and roster needs. Forno explains why he’s out on safety Dylan Thieneman (limited versatility for Brian Flores), OL Vega Ioane and Spencer Fano (not true centers and poor first-round process), DT Kayden McDonald (run-stuffing nose with limited pass-rush value for round one), and CB Mansoor Delane (man-coverage specialist in a more zone/pressure-heavy defense). They then highlight sleepers including CB Ahmari Harvey, hybrid LB/S Eric Gentry, DT Zane Durant, TE John Michael Gyllenborg, and WR Caleb Douglas. The show ends with a mock draft featuring a small trade back, prioritizing defensive versatility, adding OL value later, and avoiding spending early capital on this RB class. 00:00 Who To Avoid At 18 01:20 Draft Week Schedule 02:34 Horizontal Board Basics 04:14 Avoid Dillon Thieneman 13:07 Trade Back Talk 14:20 Avoid Vega Ioane 20:01 Avoid Kayden McDonald 25:06 Avoid Spencer Fano 26:27 Avoid Mansoor Delane 31:33 Sleepers And Trade Up Q 32:19 Do Vikings Need Nose 34:48 Sleepers Not Nose Tackles 35:20 Ahmari Harvey Hype 35:47 Eric Gentry Unicorn Fit 37:25 Zane Durant Interior Burst 38:38 Late Round Skill Sleepers 41:16 From Sleepers To Mock 41:32 Trade Back At 18 43:41 First Round Debate CJ Allen 45:26 Mid Round Trade Down Misses 47:26 Secondary Versatility Picks 50:01 Day Three Offense Targets 53:17 Why Skip Running Backs 57:58 Final Picks And Draft Grade 59:29 Wrap Up And Draft Week Schedule _____________________________________________________________ ⭐️ Subscribe to us here! - https://www.youtube.com/@vikings1stskol92 ⭐️ Our Twitter can be found at @Vikings1stSKOL ⭐️ Our Discord at https://discord.com/invite/493z6mQXcN ⭐️ Tyler Forness can be read at A to Z Sports - https://atozsports.com/nfl/minnesota-vikings-news/ ⭐️ Submit questions: forms.gle/7LJkCAern9kdUkuD8 ⭐️ On Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/vikings1standskol ⭐️ Watch the live show here: https://youtu.be/kUfaZqr-HrE Fan With Us!!!
