The Minnesota Vikings GM have granted official approval to trade for a quarterback and a top three draft pick.

The Minnesota Vikings have at least one potential trade partner in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. In March, the Vikings executed a trade to add an extra first-round pick to their war chest for the draft.

Following Kirk Cousins’s departure to the Atlanta Falcons, the Vikings are expected to try to draft a quarterback this year for a long-term solution at the position. The Vikings signed Sam Darnold for this season, but Kevin O’Connell needs a better quarterback under center to get the ball to Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison while they’re still in their prime.
