Vikings' coach Kevin O'Connell, GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah hesitate about using first-round picks for QB, hint at defensive draft focus

Minnesota Vikings' head coach, Kevin O'Connell, and general manager, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, have been transparent with their strategy and thoughts leading into the 2024 NFL offseason. In a series of interviews and media appearances, the duo has expressed that they are uncertain about using their two first-round picks to secure a promising quarterback. They have entertained the idea of selecting several quarterbacks, thus taking advantage of their newly acquired flexibility. However, they have also countered rumors that they are determined to do whatever necessary to rise to the top-5, stating that the 2024 draft's depth could lead to a strong defensive player being an option.

This is stupid

We should draft a qb, it’s a no brainer

with a trade up or not?

Red herring
