Vikings land Harrison Smith replacement in 2027 NFL Mock Draft
The Vikings will need to find a replacement for Harrison Smith soon and the 2027 NFL Draft may be when they do that.
In a recent 2027 NFL mock draft released by Deadspin's Dean Bruce, the Minnesota Vikings are projected to select Notre Dame safety Tae Johnson at the top of the first round. Johnson's presence in the Vikings' secondary aims to strengthen their safety group, which struggled last season. Bruce highlights Johnson's exceptional range, coverage instincts, and run-stopping ability, suggesting he has the potential to become the next Harrison Smith for the Vikings. The Harrisons connection is notable as Smith himself came from Notre Dame.
