Why No Running Back & Mock 4 Weeks Out! | The Real Forno Show🎙️🏈

Should the Vikings Draft a Running Back? Plus a Full First-Round Mock Draft — Host Tyler Forness and producer Dave discuss why the Vikings should avoid prioritizing running back in the NFL draft, arguing the 2026 room is already set with Aaron Jones, Jordan Mason, and Xavier Scott, and that top backs Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price likely won’t be available at market value without trading up; Forness also notes better 2026 RB options in the draft and potential free agency. They touch on QB uncertainty around J.J. McCarthy and briefly discuss edge-rusher considerations and a hypothetical Myles Garrett trade framework. The show then runs a predictive first-round mock draft, including Minnesota selecting DT Peter Woods at No. 18, and ends with notes on upcoming content, draft-week plans, and future episodes. 00:00 RB Draft Priority Tease 01:14 Show Intro and Tech Chaos 01:59 McCarthy Trade Talk 03:41 Why Punt RB This Year 05:51 Class Value and 2026 Options 11:46 Chat Questions and RB Depth 15:41 Trade Ideas and Myles Garrett 18:32 Mock Draft Begins 20:02 Top Picks Breakdown 24:54 Mid Top 10 and DT Question 30:24 Bain Arm Length Debate 30:49 Better Measurement Ideas 31:46 When Short Arms Matter 34:17 Wingspan And Will Campbell 35:12 Bengals Pick Caleb Downs 35:16 Medical Flags Explained 38:00 Dolphins Rebuild Cap Hell 40:02 Safety Value And Board Talk 41:04 Rams Take Makai Lemon 42:07 Ravens Bucs And CJ Allen 43:20 Jets Lions Vikings Picks 47:40 Panthers To Cowboys Run 49:23 Steelers To Browns Stretch 51:54 Bears Bills And 49ers 54:21 Texans Chiefs Dolphins Late 56:05 Patriots And Seahawks Finish 57:49 Wrap Up And Draft Plans _____________________________________________________________ ⭐️ 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/xDdIv8Egu-s Fan With Us!!!
