517 days ago

In the upcoming NFL Draft, there will be multiple teams looking to add prominent and talented prospects to their team. Out of such teams, one will be the Minnesota Vikings.

The former general manager of the Vikings, Rick Spielman, recently shared that the squad would make great adjustments in order to acquire the former superstar of the Michigan Wolverines, J.J. McCarthy.

According to CBS Sports “With the First Pick,” podcast, Spielman mentioned via USA Today Sports Vikings Wire, “They’re (the Vikings) going to have to give (picks 11 and 23) and their 2025 first, plus some more draft capital. I think J.J. (McCarthy) will be a good pro, but Minnesota will overpay to get him. At this point, they don’t have a choice (given their current QB room).”

However, the Vikings will have to make significant sacrifices as they want to update their quarterback options with top-notch talent. Their transition was stated as they decided to move on with other options as Kirk Cousins left for the Atlanta Falcons. Vikings other options include Archie Griffin Award recipient quarterback Sam Darnold.
