While their division-rival Bears are in control of the 2024 NFL Draft board, much is out of the Minnesota Vikings' control this year. It's a frustrating place to be if you're a Vikings fan. The departure of Kirk Cousins in free agency has left them with no choice but to find a quarterback in this year's draft, and their proverbial backs are against the wall. The good news? It's a great quarterback class. The bad news? Minnesota's first pick isn't until No. 11. General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah has done his best to arm Minnesota with everything they'd need to get their guy, though. He already pulled off a trade with the Houston Texans to acquire No. 23 overall to make the Vikings one of three teams with multiple first-round picks and the only team in the group (besides Chicago, picking first) that needs a quarterback.
