NFC North 2026 NFL Mock Draft: What does every team need heding into Week 7?

Our first divisional mock draft of the year is live as we look at every team needs at this point in the year.

Enough of the season has passed to allow us to start back up one of our favorite series on Vikings Wire: NFC North Mock Drafts

Of course, Mock Draft Monday will still focus on the team itself, but what will the other teams in the division need come next April? We look at that and do full seven-round mock drafts for every team in the NFC North, not just the Minnesota Vikings. By doing that, it accomplishes two things: the first is that fans get to know what team needs the other opponents in the division have, but the second is that you get to know more names in college football.

With that in mind, let's jump into the picks as we go through the uber-talented NFC North.
