Here are three moves the Minnesota Vikings must make ahead of the 2024 season.
The Vikings GM recently commented on the future of the team's star wideout.
The Minnesota Vikings have received a ton of praise from pundits around the football world after the 2024 NFL Draft. For good reason. General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah sought areas of need.
Under GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, the 2024 Minnesota Vikings focused on player value, making seven draft picks and acquiring 17 undrafted agents. The Real Forno Show analyzes this strategy, its implications, and the prospects of the new players, highlighting trends like prioritizing Power 5 schools and top 30 visits.
Before the draft, the situation for the Vikings and star receiver Justin Jefferson was simple. Pay him, or trade him to someone who will. Now that the trade window has closed (for now), the Vikings need to pay him.
The Vikings made some good moves during the NFL Draft, but none were better than when they traded up from No. 23 to No. 17 in order to take EDGE Dallas Turner. The Vikings traded up to get Turner, but they still stole the draft's best edge player.
Now that the NFL draft is in the books, expect the Vikings to turn their focus back towards — among other things — getting a record-breaking contract extension done with superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson.

The team would prefer to trade up and land its long-term QB in this draft.
The Vikings own picks No. 11 and No. 23, and they could package those in order to move up in the draft.
The Minnesota Vikings might have tipped their hand, in terms of a preferred and realistic quarterback trade target in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft.
It certainly is no longer a secret the Vikings are interested in moving up for a quarterback.
