The Minnesota Vikings find themselves in a challenging position as they navigate the quarterback landscape heading into the upcoming NFL draft. With the experienced-passer market almost settled, the Vikings added Sam Darnold to their roster, but their interest in acquiring a rookie quarterback remains.
However, the Vikings face a dilemma with their current draft position. Holding the No. 11 overall pick, they must contend with at least four other teams ahead of them who also have their sights set on selecting a quarterback. The Denver Broncos, positioned directly behind the Vikings at No. 12, further intensify the competition.
To secure their desired quarterback in the first round, the Vikings may need to employ some strategic maneuvering during the draft. This could involve various tactics such as trading up or potentially striking a deal with teams ahead of them that have additional quarterback options.
