On Friday, Minnesota Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah finagled a trade with the Houston Texans, sending two 2nd-Round picks to the Houston for the Texans’ 2024 1st-Rounder (Pick No. 23) and a late-round pick swap.
News of the trade was a stunner, a clear indicator that Minnesota is in the mood to obtain its quarterback for life after Kirk Cousins via the draft. Most expect a follow-up trade sometime in the next 5.5 weeks, a transaction that could occur as early as now or go the distance until draft night, April 25th.
