Minnesota Vikings ABANDONED PLANS FOR KEY QUARTER BACK PLAYER HEARING AS……
This offseason, the Minnesota Vikings hope to enter the franchise quarterback competition, but it will require a huge play.
On Tuesday, February 20, Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox wrote a “dream trade scenario” in which the Vikings give up at least their first-round picks in 2024 and 2025 in exchange for the opportunity to move into the top three and choose the current Heisman Trophy winner.
The Vikings organization has “appeared to some” to the notion of matching [Justin] Jefferson with LSU QB prospect Jayden Daniels, according to ESPN’s Dan Graziano. Though Minnesota can’t expect him to fall to selection No. 11, it’s a good strategy.
Daniels is the No. 3 quarterback and could easily be a top-five pick if there is a rush to choose signal-callers in Round 1. Despite being only the 24th-ranked talent on the B/R board. The Vikings would be wise to trade up to acquire Daniels, even if it means forfeiting their first-round pick and additional money. As previously said, teams don’t rank highly in the 2025 QB class, thus April may be Minnesota’s best opportunity until at least 2026 to find a long-term QB solution.
