If the Vikings are going to get one of the top quarterbacks in April’s draft, they will likely have to put together a significant package to move up. According to the Star Tribune’s Ben Goessling, Minnesota’s front office “understand” what it will cost them.
“If they’re going to take one, it’s going to be someone we love or we’re not doing it,” Goessling told KFAN’s Paul Allen Tuesday. “If you have to give up a couple first-round picks for future years, I don’t think they’d bat an eye at that.”
The Vikings have the No. 11 pick but with the QB-needy Bears, Commanders and Patriots holding the top three picks, Minnesota is seemingly well out of position to get their QB of the future. At least that’s the case if they have eyes for Caleb Williams, Drake Maye or Jayden Daniels.
“They have certainly looked at this as ‘we need to get the guy that we can plant our flag with for the next 10 years and if it costs a lot to do that, so be it,'” continued Goessling. “I don’t think they’re going to limp in on this, so to speak, and be like, ‘Well, if it’s QB5 and we’re kind of OK with him let’s take him anyway.'”
