ESPN predicted during Super Bowl week that the Minnesota Vikings will move up to the third pick in the forthcoming draft to replace Kirk Cousins; Darren Wolfson of KSTP has subsequently reported that the Vikings have indeed taken that action.
The Vikings checked in with the New England Patriots over a possible trade while attending the Senior Bowl, which is a college football all-star game played in Mobile, Alabama, the week before the Super Bowl, according to a story published by Wolfson on February 22.
On the SKOR North podcast “Mackey and Judd,” Wolfson stated, “There was a seed planted, with New England, by the Vikings down in Mobile.” “Hey, is there even any interest on your part to move off that number 3 pick?” was the seed that was sown.
After months of speculation about the future at quarterback, Wolfson stated that conversations have not progressed, but the Vikings’ pass against the Patriots indicates Minnesota is open to making a possible blockbuster move during the draft.
Wolfson made no mention of conversations between the two teams at this time. But the NFL Scouting Combine, which begins on Monday, February 26, provides the setting and the chance for the Vikings to discuss all potential options before to March 13’s free agency.
