The Minnesota Vikings have been rumored to move up for a quarterback in the 2024 NFL Draft for the last few months and they have finally done it. They have acquired the 10th overall pick from the New York Jets and selected Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy.
This is one of the more fascinating drafts in franchise history for the Vikings. They have never taken a quarterback in the top 10 in franchise history with their highest being Daunte Culpepper in 1999. With this trade, they are set to do that for the first time.
