VIKINGS DRAFT PICKS 2024: WHEN DOES MINNESOTA PICK? FULL LIST OF NFL DRAFT SELECTIONS
The Minnesota Vikings are in great shape to get their franchise quarterback in the 2024 NFL Draft.
In recent memory, no team has been within earshot of a top quarterback with a better infrastructure other than the 2021 San Francisco 49ers. They have the best wide receiver in the game in Justin Jefferson, great complementary weapons in Jordan Addison, T.J. Hockenson and Aaron Jones along with bookend tackles Christian Darrisaw and Brian O'Neill.
The big thing with the Vikings isn't about getting a quarterback but how high they can go to get one. They have been linked to every quarterback who can go in the first round at one point with J.J. McCarthy being the overwhelming favorite according to the consensus.

Vikings NFL Draft needs
- Quarterback This is the most obvious need in the National Football League. Once the Vikings let Kirk Cousins walk in free agency, this was going to be a major need, as Sam Darnold isn't the guy to take them over the top.
- Interior defensive line The Vikings do have a couple of intriguing pieces available to them on the defensive line in Harrison Phillips and Jerry Tillery. However, they don't have anyone who is a dominant force or a true difference-maker.
- Wide receiver For a Kevin O'Connell, offense, the wide receiver position is very important. You need to have three good receivers to run the 11 personnel packages that he likes to use and having a talented option is important.
