2026 Free Agency and Draft: WR - MaroonBells - 02-21-2026
Probably little chance we can draft him since he'll likely go somewhere between our picks at 18 and 49, but Omar Cooper Jr is my first real draft crush of 2026. His body control and RAC is remarkable. I don't care what he measures; I don't care what he times; OCJ is going be a weapon in the NFL.

Quick, when was the last time an Indiana WR was taken in the 1st round? There's never been one. This year there might be two.

Seems Daniel Jeremiah reads Vikefans.
In his latest Top 50, Omar Cooper Jr jumped from outside his top 50 to....19th!!?https://www.nfl.com/news/daniel-jeremiah-s-top-50-2026-nfl-draft-prospect-rankings-2-0

Before he tore his ACL, I thought Chris Bell was likely a first rounder. Bell seems to have been forgotten since his injury.
I assume we will lose Aaron Jones and Speedy Nailor in FA. We do not have an in-house replacement for Jones; we do for Speedy - Tai Felton. Depending on what we do in FA, our biggest needs at the moment are Safety, CB, and RB. If TJ leaves in FA or is cut, I would add TE as another position of need. Same if we lose Wilson: add ILB as a need. Next in line is probably Center. Most of the college Centers are a bit small. I would love to get Rutledge.
But I don't really see WR as a need now and do not want to draft one in the first 3 rounds. Absolutely take one later in the draft, but we have other issues to address early.
