Vikings Territory

Like last time, these are not predictions, but what I would do if I were calling the shots in Minnesota. The 2024 draft will be one of the most important in Minnesota for years and promises to define the current regime’s success (or not). We start the same way we did last time. Trade: Minnesota sends the 11th overall pick, a 1st in 2025, and a 3rd in 2026 to the Los Angeles Chargers in exchange for the 5th overall pick. A few things have to happen for this scenario to play out. Washington, New England, and Arizona all stick and pick, leaving Minnesota’s draft QB4 on the board. Can the Vikings get away with not using pick 23 in a trade-up? That will depend on the level of desire for trading up for teams like the New York Giants and Denver Broncos. If the Vikings can pull it off and draft a quarterback and keep the 23rd pick, they can add a player for the defense. Kwesi Adofo-Mensah will be cooking.
