NFL Draft Day 2026 is HERE! Mock Draft Roundup & Who’s Trending | The Real Forno Show🎙️🏈

Draft Day Vikings Mock Draft Tracker: Dillon Thieneman Buzz, Late Trends, and Final Simulator Mock — On draft day, Tyler Forness and producer Dave recap Forness’s mock draft tracker project (Jan. 1 through the morning of Round 1), compiling 584 industry mocks and noting a surge to 107 final-week mocks. They highlight that safety Dillon Thieneman became the runaway Vikings projection (238 selections, 40.75%; 69 of 107 this week) after not appearing before Valentine’s Day, discussing how combine testing and Daniel Jeremiah’s mock helped drive the trend and questioning whether Minnesota will actually prioritize replacing Harrison Smith. They examine shifting trends such as Avieon Terrell’s post–free agency drop and late spikes for Kenyon Sadiq and edge Keldrick Faulk, plus Kayden McDonald’s boosted placement. They finish with a final A to Z Sports simulator mock featuring multiple trade-downs and picks including CJ Allen, Treydan Stukes, Keylan Rutledge, De’Zhaun Stribling, Ahmari Harvey, Austin Barber, Eric Gentry, and Lorenzo Styles, and preview a seven-round live draft stream. 00:00 Draft Day Kickoff 02:09 Mock Tracker Overview 02:42 Dillon Thieneman Buzz 05:05 Safety Trend Debate 07:16 Past Years Context 12:39 Crowds vs Experts 14:13 Terrell Dropoff 16:08 Kenyon Sadiq Surge 22:15 Keldrick Faulk Steam 25:26 Injury Risk Talk 28:08 Trade Down Scenarios 30:07 Mock Simulator Setup 32:25 Trading Back Live 34:08 CJ Allen vs Concepcion 34:40 Linebacker Debate 37:29 Trade Down Decision 38:14 Targeting Stukes 39:00 Interior Line Help 40:25 Receiver Or Safety 43:44 Midround Dline Swing 45:26 Speed Receiver Pick 48:08 Corner Value Steal 49:12 Swing Tackle Depth 53:06 Late Round Fliers 56:26 Wrap Up And Signoff _____________________________________________________________ ⭐️ 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/mCfZ9S5duBI Fan With Us!!!
