2023 NFL Draft Day 3 The Minnesota Vikings select… A Quarterback and More!

On today’s special episode of Two Old Bloggers - Darren, Dave, and Tyler join together to recap the events of day three of the 2023 NFL draft in Kansas City. The Minnesota Vikings have made some big moves, adding four new players between rounds four, five, and seven.

Their first pick in round four was Jay Ward, a defensive back out of LSU, which addressed a pressing need for the Vikings in the defensive backfield, the need for depth. The team then made a double dip, moving up to select Jacquelin Roy, a defensive tackle out of LSU, who could be a possible future replacement at the three-technique.
