Reviewing a few comments from NFL executives on the Vikings' 2024 draft haul.
Courtesy of articles at ESPN and The Athletic, we can get a glimpse into what some NFL executives thought of the Vikings' recent draft class., the Vikings surprised people around the league with their trade up from 23 to 17 for Dallas Turner, which cost them a third-rounder, a fourth-rounder, and a fifth-rounder to pull off. Kwesi Adofo-Mensah famously traded back from 12 to 32 in his first draft as the Vikings' GM, which made sense given his analytics background.
Nonetheless, not everyone was a fan of the price the Vikings paid to move up for a non-quarterback. Some execs "questioned Minnesota's process," Sando's pieces notes that the Vikings are the only team in the NFL who has traded away three picks in next year's draft. They currently have just their first-rounder, a projected third-round comp pick, and two fifths in 2025. One exec who spoke to Sando wondered if the Texans' success in trading up for Will Anderson Jr. last year factored into Adofo-Mensah's thinking.
