A Different Way for the Vikings to Trade Up for a 1st-Round QB

Sticking around at pick No. 11 means that the year’s top trio of QBs — Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels — will almost certainly be gone. The Vikings will thus be thinking long and hard about forfeiting a pile of picks to get into the draft’s top 5.

What happens, though, if Kwesi Adofo-Mensah can’t pull off the move to catapult his squad into that position? Does one of Bo Nix, Michael Penix Jr., or J.J. McCarthy make sense? If not, where do they go with the pick?

Onboarding a defender at 11th makes a ton of sense.
