Sikkema is correct and Minnesota can get in the game for the No. 4 pick for the price of two first-rounders in 2024 and another asset or two of considerably lesser value, the outcome would read like a steal for the Vikings.
Tom Curran of NBC Sports Boston reported via his “Tom Curran Patriots Talk Podcast” on April 5 that the New England Patriots want three first-rounders, and then some, to move off the No. 3 spot — just one ahead of the Cardinals at No. 4.
“From what I’m hearing, it’s going to take a lot more than [three firsts] for the Patriots to be moved off their spot, because they as a team collectively understand the opportunity that these three quarterbacks represent at the top of the draft,” Curran said.
