head coach Kevin O’Connell made it clear that the organization is still evaluating their options at quarterback. And there is increasing speculation about what they will do in the 2024 draft, fueling trade rumors.
Their trade with the Houston Texans to acquire the No. 23 overall pick has set the stage for them to be aggressive. The question has just been how aggressive they might be.
At least one insider predicts they will be aggressive enough to land the No. 3 pick.
“The Vikings will package three first-rounders (including future years) and move up to No. 3,” ESPN’s Dan Graziano wrote on March 25. “I could see Washington pulling a bit of a surprise in selecting [Drake] Maye at No. 2, and the Vikings ending with [Jayden] Daniels to pair with [Justin] Jefferson — two LSU products — in this offense for years to come.”
Graziano also offered a hypothetical package to get a deal done with the New England Patriots. It would allow the Vikings to land the reigning Heisman winner, Daniels.
