With Kirk Cousins’ contract expiring this offseason, there is already a lot of conjecture about the Minnesota Vikings’ future quarterback. Although Cousins may decide to re-sign, there are new rumors suggesting the Vikings may choose to take a different route in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Are the Vikings Looking To Trade Up in the 2024 NFL Draft?
Who the starting quarterback in 2024 is up in the air. Cousins is out of contract, and the Vikings are currently slated to pick 11th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. There will certainly be QBs available for them to pick outside the top 10, but fresh speculation suggests the Vikings are exploring options to trade up.
In every draft, teams always confer and debate trade-up values. Teams are trying to figure out the process and create their boards pre-draft as part of the due diligence.
The Vikings talking about the expense of advancing wouldn’t be out of the ordinary. Still, there’s a growing assumption that the Vikings may select a quarterback this year, reinforced by fresh speculations.
