There’s a New Trend for the Vikings in the 2024 NFL Draft

Vikings fans across the world seem to want Minnesota to take a quarterback in the 2024 NFL Draft.

It makes sense considering Kirk Cousins is entering free agency and is heading into his age-36 season coming off an Achilles tear. However, recent mock drafts have set a new trend for the Vikings in the first round.

The Vikings have not selected an edge rusher in the first round since 2005 when they took Erasmus James out of Wisconsin with the 18th overall pick. However, that is precisely the position that many mock drafts have the Vikings taking this spring.
