Minnesota Vikings 2026 NFL Draft Horizontal Big Board – Defensive & Offensive Breakdown | The Real Forno Show🎙️🏈
from Vikings 1st & SKOL: A Minnesota Vikings podcast · host FFSN
Vikings Draft Week: Horizontal Boards, Brzezinski Red Flags, and a Possible Jonathan Greenard Trade — During a draft week episode of The Real Forno Show, Tyler Forness and Producer Dave introduce “horizontal boards” for offense, defense, and all positions, explaining how they map player rankings to draft ranges (trade up, pick 18, trade down, later rounds, UDFA) and emphasize fit and roster context over a simple big board. Forness reacts to interim GM Rob Brzezinski’s media comments suggesting little change in the draft-room setup after Kwesi Adofo-Mensah’s firing, calling it a red flag and arguing the team is betting the decision-maker was the only problem. They discuss rumors that the Eagles may revisit talks to acquire edge rusher Jonathan Greenard during the draft, why the Vikings should keep and pay him, and how draft-pick “realization” can drive trades. The show ends with a predictive Vikings mock draft using the A to Z Sports simulator and previews a week of live draft coverage and related episodes. 00:00 Draft Week Kickoff 00:34 Show Intro and Sub Plug 02:17 Brezinski Quote Red Flag 06:52 Blame Game and Runback 11:41 Quick Mock Question 13:25 Greenard Trade Rumors 21:23 Draft Strategy and Needs 22:40 Horizontal Board Explained 25:33 Offense Board Fit Talk 30:13 Defense Board Breakdown 33:39 Round Two Targets Debate 36:28 Why Horizontal Boards Win 40:13 Vikings O Line Needs Debate 41:37 Mock Draft Setup Rules 42:36 Pick 18 Trade Talk 46:16 Round One Decision 48:35 Pick 49 Trade Down 50:54 Mid Round Targets 58:26 Late Round Corner Upside 01:00:20 Finding A Receiver Late 01:03:33 Grades 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/7uGC_GWdK2g Fan With Us!!!
