Vikings Shock with Offensive Tackle Fano

0:00It's April 5th. You're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered football coverage. I'm Cory with the story. Most mock-drafts lately have the Minnesota Vikings grabbing a defender at Pick 18, like Oregon Safety Dillon Dianiman or some cornerback. But Bleacher Report flipped the script, projecting them to take Utah offensive tackle Spencer Fano instead. The Vikings face real issues of front-on-office. Christian Derrissau still isn't fully back from his knee injuries last year. Brian O'Neal hits free agency in 2027 in the center spot. Remains wide open, heading into next off-season. Fans might call this pick shocking since the fence scenes more urgent, but it could boost the whole line and protect whatever quarterback they settle on. Long term, Fano ranks as the 10th best prospect overall, making him a steal at 18. His tape backs it up with elite versatility. He logs snaps at both tackles, earned a 92.6 player grade from PFF this year, and didn't. Allow a single sack last season. If Fano slides that far, grabbing the top
