The Vikings’ move to acquire a second first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft sparked further rumors that they could be eyeing to move up from the 11th pick in the draft.
If so, the Patriots seem to be a logical trade partner. The Vikings are searching for their next quarterbacks after losing Kirk Cousins in free agency and the Patriots hold the No. 3 overall pick, as many expect a quarterback to be taken with the first three selections.
Of course, the Patriots are in need of a long-term solution at quarterback, too. They moved on from Mac Jones earlier in the week and signed Jacoby Brissett to just a one-year deal in free agency.
