And will they trade up to draft him?
It’s inside a month until the NFL Draft, and as always, where the top quarterbacks will go is, as always, a hot topic among fans, the media, and league circles.
The recent league meeting that ended today provided some new information and perhaps a bit more clarity regarding some team's intentions, but there is still a lot of uncertainty and misinformation going around as well.

The Vikings’ evaluations of the top prospects over the coming days and weeks will be a key storyline to follow.

Spotting a chance to improve the roster, general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah executed a rare in-division trade with the Detroit Lions to land T.J. Hockenson during the 2022 season.
If the Minnesota Vikings trade wide receiver Justin Jefferson, could an AFC West team be the best partner?
The Minnesota Vikings made a strategic move by trading up to select promising LSU defender Jaquelin Roy in the draft. Combining the 158th and 211th picks allowed them to secure Roy at 141st overall.
If the Minnesota Vikings trade wide receiver Justin Jefferson, could the Los Angeles Chargers represent a potential landing spot for him? Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox thinks so.

Some other interesting rules have come out today as well
Earlier today, we touched on the changes to the kickoff rules for the 2024 season that came out of the NFL League Meetings in Orlando. That wasn’t the only change that was passed today, so let’s do a quick rundown of some of the new rules and other things that could affect the Minnesota Vikings and the 31 other teams that aren’t nearly as important.
The first thing to talk about is that the league...
The Minnesota Vikings need a franchise QB. That is not a secret. They hope to find one in the 1st round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Also, not a secret. That’s why most of the what you hear out of Vikings brass this week from the NFL league meetings in Orlando has to be taken with a grain of salt.
