It’s here. We made it to draft day, Minnesota Vikings fans. It wasn’t an easy path, but we’ve never been about easy in this town anyways. Tonight though, at 7 p.m. CDT (finally), commissioner Roger Goodell will step up to the podium in Detroit, MI where, after being booed, he’ll announce that “the Chicago Bears are on the clock”. Just like that, the 2024 NFL Draft will officially begin. The Minnesota Vikings will start with the No. 11 and No. 23 picks in the 1st round, and are not scheduled to pick again until the 4th round, which is a sneaky variable to keep an eye on. 1st Rd – No. 11 1st Rd ..read more

Minnesota Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah is ready to do business in the 2024 NFL Draft starting Thursday from Detroit. Adofo-Mensah has been in this zone since acquiring an additional first-round pick from the Houston Texans earlier in the offseason. Why? Well, Kirk Cousins. That’s the name. Once the Pro Bowl quarterback bolted for the conference-rival Atlanta Falcons in NFL free agency, it became clear that the Vikes needed to find an heir-apparent. With all due respect, Sam Darnold is not that guy. He’s never been the guy. He never will be the guy. It’s in this that the Vikings h ..read more

The 2024 NFL Draft is almost here. Like, one day away, which is hard to even believe. But don’t think the rollercoaster ride is over just yet. It’s always best to assume, especially this year, that we have a few twists and turns left on this track, before we finally come to a rest position tomorrow night. Here’s what we do know. The New England Patriots, at No. 3 overall, hold a lot of the cards on what happens in the top of the first round. They have most of the league believing they want to “stick and pick” a QB at No. 3, unless they’re blown away by a massive trade package. New England’s as ..read more

Minnesota Vikings draft rumors have tied the team to trade-up scenarios for a top quarterback in the 2024 NFL Draft all offseason. With the 2024 NFL Draft imminent, the Vikings front office is reportedly dealing with a significant disadvantage in trade talks with other teams.

The New England Patriots are reportedly having troubles finding any team in the league willing to pay their compensation demands in a possible trade of their No. 3 overall pick.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson has popped up in NFL trade rumors in advance of the 2024 NFL Draft. Linked as a potential trade candidate in mock drafts in order for Minnesota to acquire the quarterback of its choosing, NFL teams reportedly recognize the actual cost of landing Jefferson would be much higher. Earlier this offseason, former Vikings general manager Rick Spielman suggested Minnesota could package Jefferson with the 11th and 23rd overall picks to acquire the fourth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. In addition, ESPN NFL analyst Bill Barnwell proposed a deal in an ..read more

The Minnesota Vikings will be on the clock in three days. We don’t know when, or for how long, but at some point on Thursday, Roger Goodell is going to walk to the podium in Detroit, MI with a new Vikings QB in his hand. Is that card going to have Jayden Daniels (LSU), Drake Maye (UNC) or JJ McCarthy’s (Michigan) name on it? Maybe even Bo Nix? We may not know that answer until the pick is called. But before Roger hits the podium, holding a player card, he’s more than likely going to walk up with a Vikings trade card instead. One that announces a move up by general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. W ..read more

The NFL Draft is just four days away and, after years of wondering what the long-term quarterback plan is for the Minnesota Vikings, it’s almost hard to believe we’re that close to knowing the future finally being revealed.

The Drake Maye to Minnesota Vikings smoke was already billowing from NFL insider circles, heading into the weekend. But on Sunday morning, Boston insider Ben Volin (Boston Globe) charged up those embers and threw heaps of gas onto what is now a blazing inferno. In his column today, Volin says he has spent months trying to parse through all of the smokescreens being laid out by NFL front offices across the league. And out of that extensive sleuthing, he’s arrived at a few different interesting theories, many of of which are related (either directly or indirectly) to the Vikings. Minnesota Vikin ..read more
