Vikings Draft Domonique Orange, Boosting Defensive Line

0:00On April 25th, the Minnesota Vikings made some bold moves in the 2026 NFL draft, snagging defensive tackle Kayla Banks at 18th. Overall to beef up their front, they traded down from 49th to 51st, grabbing linebacker Jake Golday right after. Earlier this week, they shipped out edge-rusher Jonathan Greenart to Philadelphia in exchange for two-third-round picks, clearing space and adding. MMO, that set them up nicely, and with one of those thirds at 82, they selected Dominic Orange, another defensive tackle from Iowa State, who's built like a classic nose tackle. Orange shines as a run-stuffer with a massive frame and strong hands, perfect for rotation duty, and he's got upside to develop as a past-rusher folks. Are already comparing him to Vita Vega. Pairing him with Banks gives the Viking solid young building blocks inside, so now it's all about watching how these pieces gel on defense moving. Forward.
