The Vikings need a great quarterback, but they also need to choose good middle-round picks.
In the approaching 2024 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings have a lot of work ahead of them. The Vikings need a new primary quarterback for the near and far future after losing starting quarterback Kirk Cousins to the Atlanta Falcons in free agency.
At the conclusion of the 2023 season, the Vikings decided as a business that they would not pay a huge sum of money to retain Cousins. The Vikings were eager to go above and above to retain him in Minnesota when the Falcons offered him a four-year, $180 million contract. Head coach Kevin O’Connell and general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah seemed to agree on the choice.
Sam Darnold, an experienced quarterback, has been acquired by the Vikings, although this is a temporary move. Although Darnold has had a mediocre career, he was once a highly sought-after NFL prospect. His progress has been delayed by past injury difficulties, but it only tells part of the story. During his career, he has not attained a level of excellence save from an occasional game.
The Vikings are anticipated to choose their QB1 in April because of this. The Vikings hold the 11th and 23rd picks in the first round of the NFL, and there are six quarterback prospects that are highly regarded. That might or might not be sufficient to choose one of the top four.
