J.J. McCarthy dominates while Drake Maye falls behind in Vikings NFL mock draft roundup image

The Minnesota Vikings are now just three days away from potentially finding their quarterback of the future in the 2024 NFL Draft. That decision could finally net them the Super Bowl that has evaded them since the franchise was formed in 1961.

On the other hand, they may botch the quarterback choice or not even take one. There are a lot of interesting options for the Vikings in how they can approach the first round, especially with picks at both 11 and 23 overall.

Now, what should they do is a completely different story. There are plenty of options for them to pursue and we are still far from a consensus. In the second to last mock draft roundup, one quarterback continues to separate from the pack.
