The Chicago Bears hold the first and ninth overall selections in the 2024 NFL Draft, sure, but the most interesting team might just be their division rivals: the Minnesota Vikings.
Following a trade with the Houston Texans, the Vikes also have two first-rounders in their coffers, and Minny has been deemed by many to be the most likely team to trade up for a quarterback after losing Kirk Cousins in free agency to the Atlanta Falcons.
With newly acquired QB Sam Darnold atop the depth chart, the Vikings are expected to do something in what’s considered a deep quarterback class. But what will it be?
Will they stand pat and hope a guy like J.J. McCarthy drops to them at No. 11? Will they go all-in for a top-three pick and draft Drake Maye? Or is there another option?
The GM Shuffle breaks down Minnesota’s draft strategy as the big day approaches.
