The Minnesota Vikings are in an interesting position when it comes to the NFL Draft. They want to try and get their quarterback of the future but it's going to be a difficult task.
The targets for the Vikings are LSU's Jayden Daniels, North Carolina's Drake Maye and Michigan's J.J. McCarthy. If they can get one of those players, it would be a massive win. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler had some interesting tidbits on the Vikings, including one AFC executive believing they will pull off a draft day trade.
"I think they pull it off," an AFC executive said about Minnesota moving up to secure a passer. "They've probably been the most active team as far as potentially moving up."
It's not always as simple as wanting to trade up. You have to find a partner that both is willing to move down and agrees to a deal. Because of that fact, the Vikings are keeping their options open.
"I could even see them taking the best player available at 11, like a corner, and then figuring out quarterback at 23," an executive from a team picking high in the draft said. "Feels like all options are on the table for them."
The Vikings are going to have a lot of different options on the table come Thursday night and most of them will hopefully involve a quarterback.
