Pro Football Focus conducted a unique College Football Mock Draft featuring every player eligible for selection, resulting in quarterbacks dominating early picks and talented players dropping down the board. In this scenario, the Minnesota Vikings selected Notre Dame cornerback Leonard Moore with the 24th overall pick. Moore, a standout in his freshman season, excelled in man coverage and was ranked highly in PFF's metrics, positioning him as a top prospect for the upcoming NFL Draft.
Max Chadwick and Dalton Wasserman justified the Vikings' selection of Moore, highlighting his impressive performance as one of college football's top cornerbacks. With a strong debut season and potential for future success, Moore is anticipated to be a notable prospect in the 2026 NFL Draft. Although Moore cannot be picked by the Vikings in the upcoming draft, addressing the cornerback position aligns with their strategic needs.
