By most fan and pundit accounts, the Minnesota Vikings will likely use the 11th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft on a quarterback or defensive lineman.
SI.com Mock Draft Has New Flavor for Vikings
The draft is exactly 10 weeks away, so there is plenty of time for the hype machine to play its course. But on Thursday, SI.com flipped the script on the Vikings’ would-be draft plan, connecting Minnesota to Alabama cornerback Terrion Arnold in its latest mock draft.
Heading into 2024, the Vikings have these cornerbacks under contract:
- Byron Murphy
- Mekhi Blackmon
- Andrew Booth
- Akayleb Evans
- Najee Thompson
- Joejuan Williams
- Jaylin Williams
So, Minnesota certainly doesn’t have a quantity problem at corner, but it could have a quality concern, depending on the opinions of Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, Kevin O’Connell, and Brian Flores.
