The Vikings are in a good position to trade down this year or trade out for next year. If someone wants to move up in this years draft for a QB having the 24th overall pick allows a team like the Giants, Saints or Steelers to move up for a QB.

Likewise a team looking to move up next year would want to secure a second first-rounder for the 2026 draft. What we would be talking about is in both cases a 2nd and 3rd round pick this year.

One thing is for certain, with only 2QB’s being picked and six teams needing a QB (Titans, Browns, Giants, Jets, Saints and Steelers) teams with some foresight are going to want an extra first next year
