Dillon Thieneman, S, Oregon
Dillon Thieneman is projected to be selected by the Vikings at the 18th pick in the upcoming draft, largely due to the likely retirement of veteran safety Harrison Smith. Thieneman, considered the second-best safety behind Caleb Downs, boasts impressive agility and college performance, making him a safe choice for Minnesota. The Vikings fanbase, known for their regular-season success but postseason disappointments, continues to hope for a turnaround. The current mock draft order reflects this anticipation, with Thieneman consistently appearing in top projections.
