The Minnesota Vikings are making headlines in the NFL as they reportedly prepare to make a move up in the upcoming draft. After acquiring an additional first-round pick from the Houston Texans, the Vikings are eyeing a quarterback to bolster their roster.
Sources suggest that the Vikings believe this year’s draft class is stronger than next year’s and they want to take advantage of the talent available in the first round. Speculation is rife that the Vikings are looking to trade up to the No. 5 spot with the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers have roster holes to fill after cutting Mike Williams and trading Keenan Allen, making them a potential trade partner for Minnesota.
However, the Vikings are not the only team looking to secure a top quarterback in this year’s draft. The New York Giants, New England Patriots, and Arizona Cardinals are all rumored to be considering moving up or down in the draft to land their desired signal-caller.
With the Vikings expected to have suitors for their pick, there is a possibility that they may move up even further in the draft. Fans of the team can expect to find more draft content, prospect rankings, mock drafts, and a weekly podcast featuring former Vikings GM Rick Spielman on the Insider Wales Sport website.
Stay tuned for more updates on the Vikings’ draft moves as they look to secure their next franchise quarterback.
