The 2026 NFL Combine is getting underway today at 2 PM CST. The Minnesota Vikings will be there with their newly former leadership group. The drills aren’t my favorite in the world to watch. To me, you’re better off watching game footage, but it does impact the draft. For that reason alone, it’s impossible to truly ignore the magnitude of the event.
The storylines for the guys in purple are voluminous, which is typical for the Vikings. Will they be looking at QBs? Needs at DL, DB, Probably TE, Maybe QB, Maybe WR, Probably RB, and OL (listed in no particular order) will have everyone in Minnesota talking for the next 8 weeks leading up to the draft.
Here’s when it all takes place:
Thursday, February 26, 2 PM CST – Defensive Linemen, Linebackers, and Place Kickers
Friday, February 27, 2 PM CST – Tight Ends and Defensive Backs
Saturday, February 28, Noon CST – QBs, WRs, and RBs
Sunday, March 1, Noon CST – Offensive Linemen
The needs of the Vikings are numerous, so there’s plenty to watch each day. Personally, I mostly skip the TV coverage and read a few of my favorites. There’ll be plenty of coverage on the DN throughout the weekend and analysis leading up to the NFL Draft in April, which is being held in Pittsburgh, PA.
