As the NFL Draft approaches, the Minnesota Vikings, led by Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, are considering trade-back options for their 24th overall pick. One potential trade package involves sending the 24th pick to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for the 33rd and 94th picks in the 2025 Draft, along with a 3rd-round pick in the 2026 Draft. This move could benefit the Browns in targeting a quarterback and provide the Vikings with additional draft capital.
In another scenario, the Vikings could trade the 24th pick and a 6th-round pick in the 2026 Draft to the New York Giants for the 34th, 65th, and 154th picks in the 2025 Draft. This trade allows the Giants to address their quarterback needs and gives the Vikings extra picks across two draft years. Additionally, the Vikings have the option to trade with the New York Jets, sending the 24th pick and a 6th-round pick in the 2026 Draft for the 42nd, 73rd, and 186th picks in the 2025 Draft, along with a 3rd-round pick in the 2026 Draft. This move offers the Vikings more draft assets while positioning the team for future success.
