In any edition of the draft, some teams try and make a move that forces another team to make some changes to their strategy. Just last night, there was one situation that Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton revealed.

The Draft wraps up tomorrow
As expected, Day 2 of the 2024 NFL Draft came and went with the Minnesota Vikings doing absolutely nothing after an exciting Day 1 that saw them come away with two top prospects in J.J. McCarthy and Dallas Turner.
There’s still one more day of this year’s selection meeting to go, and compared to the last two days we’ll be getting an early start on things. The action will kick off from Detroit tomorrow at 11:00 AM...

Let’s see how both sides did
Now that we’re through the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, the trade between the Minnesota Vikings and the Detroit Lions that saw tight end T.J. Hockenson come to Minnesota is, essentially, complete.
Let’s take a look at how both sides fared in that deal, shall we?
Minnesota Vikings receive TE T.J. Hockenson 2023 fourth-round pick (Traded to Chiefs) 2023 fourth-round pick (Jay Ward) 2024 fifth-round pick...It’s rare that we talk to you about football here, but this story deserves a lot of attention. Thursday night was the first round of the NFL draft, and several quarterbacks were selected.

The Draft continues (mostly without Minnesota)
Well, the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft came and went without the Minnesota Vikings doing anything. Now we’re into Round 3, where the purple are expected to continue to not do anything.
Yes, the Vikings are not slated to have a pick in the third round of this year’s NFL Draft because they’ve traded it away. They’re not currently scheduled to be on the clock until the fourth round at...

A deep dive into the Vikings new quarterback
With the tenth pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings selected JJ McCarthy, quarterback, Michigan. As the tenth pick in the draft, JJ McCarthy becomes the highest drafted quarterback in Minnesota Vikings history. He was the fifth quarterback taken in the draft and was ranked 23rd on the draft consensus board. McCarthy was widely expected to be a top five pick heading into the...

What did everyone think?
The results are in for our SB Nation Reacts poll from last night about the two selections the Minnesota Vikings made in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, so let’s take a look at what everyone thinks.
We’ll start with. . .well, the player the Vikings took first. The Vikings selected Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy with the tenth overall pick after a small trade up with the New York Jets, marking...

It’s going to be a dull night for Vikings fans
We are just half an hour away from the start of Night 2 of the 2024 NFL Draft and. . .well. . .it’s looking to be a pretty boring one for fans of the Minnesota Vikings after all of the excitement of Night 1.
The Vikings are currently not slated to have any picks on Night 2, as they’ve traded away their second-round and third-round picks already. As it stands right now, they’re not scheduled to...
There was never any doubt that the Minnesota Vikings would select a quarterback in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. It was only a matter of who, when, and whether Kwesi Adofo-Mensah would have to trade up to get Kevin O’Connell’s guy.

Yeah, seems like a solid pick
Last night in Detroit, the Minnesota Vikings shocked a lot of people when they made a move up the draft board from #23 to #17 to select Alabama edge defender Dallas Turner with their second selection of the night. While it might have been surprising to see Turner land in Minnesota, his talent is already being recognized by some of the Really Smart Football People™.
The folks from the DraftKings...
Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton suggested that he pulled some shenanigans to bait the Minnesota Vikings into their draft-day trade on Thursday.
Having the right to call yourself a top-10 draft pick as an NFL player is a big enough bragging right, in itself. It comes with big-time financial ramifications, too.
The Minnesota Vikings made two first round picks on Thursday night, in the 2024 NFL Draft, which wasn’t a huge surprise, given they started the night with two first round picks.
And you can get in on the fun
For the first time in franchise history, the Minnesota Vikings selected a quarterback with a top ten Draft choice on Thursday night when they selected Michigan star J.J. McCarthy in the 2024 NFL Draft. To celebrate, our friends from BreakingT have already put together a couple of pretty nice designs to commemorate his selection.
You can get a better look at the shirts as part of the Minnesota Collection over at BreakingT, and both of these designs are...

From both perspectives, even
One of the highlights of any Draft weekend in the NFL comes from the teams releasing the footage of each of their draftees getting the biggest phone call of their lives from the team’s front office. While I’m sure the Minnesota Vikings will release footage of all of their draftees getting the call sometime after the 2024 NFL Draft is over, we already have footage of their first selection getting his...

Well, from most perspectives, anyway
Anyone that’s followed this site for any length of time knows that I, personally, am not a big fan of draft “grades” that come out before any of these players have even taken a snap. However, I also recognize that there are a lot of people out there that are, and so I’ve put together a quick roundup of some of the grades that the team has been given by some of the Really Smart Football People™ out...

But is it going to matter?
Last night was a pretty exciting first round of the 2024 NFL Draft for the Minnesota Vikings, and I think that’s something that we can all admit. However, in all that excitement, it turns out that the Vikings are currently a bit short of capital for next year’s NFL Draft.
After making the trade that allowed them to select Alabama edge defender Dallas Turner, the Vikings are now down to just...
Amidst much speculation leading up to the 2024 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings found themselves at the center of attention. The pressing need for a quarterback
