Vikings Don't Have Many Draft Picks Remaining in 2024 and 2025
During the first round of this year's draft on Thursday night, the Vikings traded up twice to land a pair of players who they believe will be cornerstone pieces of their future. They moved up from 11 to 10 to make sure they got Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy amidst an unprecedented run that saw six quarterbacks taken in the top 12 picks.
"Obviously, I'm a spreadsheet and calculator guy myself, but sometimes you’ve gotta step out from there, take your Clark Kent glasses off, and just have a championship mindset and swing for a great player," GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said.The Vikings are also projected to get a third-round compensatory pick for losing Kirk Cousins in free agency.
It's also worth noting that the Vikings are currently projected by Spotrac to have $104 million in cap space in 2025, which is fifth-most in the league. Even if an extension for Justin Jefferson eats into that number, the Vikings will have a lot of room to add impact players in free agency around their rookie-contract quarterback.
