The 2027 NFL Draft, scheduled to take place next year in Washington, D.C., could see the Minnesota Vikings selecting tight end Trey'Dez Green from LSU. ESPN's Jordan Reid projects this pick, considering the need for a dynamic playmaker at tight end, especially with T.J. Hockenson entering the final year of his contract. Green, standing at 6-foot-7 and weighing 237 pounds, is touted for his unique skill set, likened to a supersized wide receiver. This addition could enhance a Vikings tight end position that has struggled in recent seasons.
