2024 MINNESOTA VIKINGS DRAFT

The MINNESOTA VIKINGS 2024 Draft Recap

Team Needs: 

QB, OL, WR, DL

 

Summary:

The Vikings were not able to get the Patriots to budge off their perch as they stuck with the No. 3 pick and took Maye for themselves. In the long run this may have worked towards their advantage as they were able to keep both first-round selections and addressed the two top areas of need for their team. The JJ McCarthy to Justin Jefferson connection will be one to watch as they develop chemistry during training camp. The rest of the draft class was saved with the selection of the Crimson Tide kicker Will Reicard. Aside from that selection the rest of the Vikings draft turned out mediocre at best.
