It’s official: The Minnesota Vikings will pick 11th in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Having started the day in position for the 12th pick, the Vikings had a chance of ending the day with a Top 10 pick after losing to the Detroit Lions in the early slate.
They moved up to 11th thanks to the Las Vegas Raiders’ defeat of the Denver Broncos, but the Green Bay Packers’ beating the Chicago Bears denied the Vikings another move up to No. 10.
Here’s who will be picking ahead of the Vikings in this year’s draft:
- Chicago Bears (from CAR)
- Washington Commanders
- New England Patriots
- Arizona Cardinals
- LA Chargers
- New York Giants
- Tennessee Titans
- Atlanta Falcons
- Chicago Bears
- New York Jets.
If the Vikings are intending to draft a quarterback in this year’s draft they made need to trade up to get the one they want.
It’s not clear at this time whether the Bears will be sticking with Justin Fields or drafting a new QB, and have first refusal at widely touted No. 1 pick Caleb Williams.
Other teams likely in the market for a QB include Washington, the Patriots, the Falcons, and possible the Cardinals and Giants.
As well as No. 11, the Vikings also hold Pick. 43 in overall, but don’t have a third round pick after sending it to Detroit in the TJ Hockenson trade. They do have a 4th round pick from the same deal however, as well as their own 4th rounder, 5th round picks from the Chiefs and Browns, two 6th round picks and a conditional 7th.
