Vikings Eye LSU Tackle Seaton for Offensive Line

On April 29, the Minnesota Vikings beefed up their defensive line with two of their top

three picks in the 2026 NFL draft, but now eyes are turning to the offensive side for

next year.

In a way too early 2027 mod draft from CBS Sports Cooper Pretenga, he slots the Vikings

at 12 overall, grabbing LSU.

Offensive tackle, Jordan Seaton to shore things up.

Seaton's got 22 career starts under his belt, transferring from Colorado to play under Lane

Kiffin in Baton Rouge this season.

He's an athletic tackle with real skills, though scouts say he might slide to right tackle

in the pros and still needs polishing.

That 12 pick signals trouble though, missing the playoffs two years running could shake

up the frontoff his big time.

It might mean eyeing replacements for right tackle Brian O'Neill, who's hitting free

agency and turning 31 this September.

Or even Christian.

Derry saw if he's not fully back after his 2024 ACL tier.

Fans of course dream of picking later, but the offensive line looks like a priority no

matter the spot.

O'Neill's age and contract situation make it urgent.

Keep Seaton on your radar through college ball this year.

Vikings nation might be chanting his name come draft time.
