The Minnesota Vikings have loaded up on draft capital, presumably to trade up for a quarterback in this year's draft. But what will it take to get their guy?
A couple of weeks ago, Minnesota Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah shook up the tail end of free agency by trading with the Houston Texans to acquire the No. 23 pick of this year's draft, thereby giving Minnesota two first-round picks. After losing quarterback Kirk Cousins in free agency, it doesn't take an NFL insider to figure out what the Vikings are trying to do.
It cost them the No. 12 and No. 33 selections plus first- and third-round picks in 2024. The last pick ended up being a pick swap because they got the No. 105 selection back. But in this scenario, don't forget the Vikings aren't the only ones trying to trade up. The Denver Broncos are also likely on the phones making their own offers. The New York Giants and the Las Vegas Raiders might be doing the same.
