Will the Vikings Make a Trade in Round 1?
The question surrounding the Vikings is the quarterback position. Kirk Cousins is gone and the team added Sam Darnold on a one-deal to fill the role for now. Our latest Vikings mock has Minnesota trading up to get a quarterback. There might not be a franchise QB available after the top 5 so it might force the Vikings to move up if they want a quarterback from this strong class.
Potential Targets in Round 1 for Vikings
The Vikings sit at number 11 overall in the first round but could move up since they need to find a quarterback of the future. The quarterback class is strong this year but all of the potential franchise quarterbacks could go in the top 5. JJ McCarthy has been getting plenty of buzz as a potential selection if the Vikings move up into the top 5 with a trade. Here are a few other potential options for Minnesota in round 1.
- JJ McCarthy – QB (Michigan)
- Michael Penix Jr. – QB (Washington)
- Laiatu Latu – EDGE (UCLA)
