Recent Vikings Debate Warrants the Question: Where Do First Overall Picks Get NFL Franchises?

In a recent episode of the very popular Vikings podcast “Purple Daily” produced by SKOR North, the crew of Declan Goff, Phil Mackey, and Judd Zulgad were presented a fan question that was rather difficult to answer: if guaranteed the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, should the Vikings trade star WR Justin Jefferson? The panel unanimously agreed that yes, the Vikings should pull the trigger on this trade.

Inevitably, this recent Vikings debate blew up on social media with a number of folks weighing in on both sides. On one hand, the Vikings would be guaranteed their choice of the top QBs in what looks like a talented upcoming draft class in 2024 (Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, just to name a couple), but on the other hand, it means parting ways with arguably the best receiver in the NFL.
