How will the Minnesota Vikings fair with life after Kirk Cousins?
In Mel Kiper Jr.’s latest 2024 NFL mock draft, the Minnesota Vikings will be bringing in their potential next franchise quarterback in the form of National Championship winner, Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy.
The Vikings are now the most interesting team in this draft. They just acquired another first-round pick in a deal with the Texans (No. 23), giving them the capital to move up and take a quarterback if they got the opportunity. But how far could they move up? Remember, it takes two sides to make a trade. Would the Giants want to risk missing out on one of the top receivers? Would the Titans want to risk missing out on their preferred tackle? Would the Falcons or Bears want to risk not getting the edge rusher they like? There’s not an easy match, unless Minnesota is willing to give up a lot of future picks, which is certainly possible.
