Luck smiles upon the daring, and the Minnesota Vikings have set themselves up to embody just that in the 2024 draft after their deal with the Houston Texans. With seven draft selections at their disposal, including two first-rounders, they are seen by many as a team poised to make a bold move into the top five. The Athletic’s Alec Lewis is one such believer, as evidenced by his latest mock draft which sees the Vikings acquiring former North Carolina Tar Heel, Drake Maye. In Lewis’ speculative scenario, three first-round picks would be sent to the New England Patriots.
Vikings get:
– 2024 first-round pick (No. 3 overall)
Patriots get:
– 2024 first-round pick (No. 11)
– 2024 first-round pick (No. 23)
– 2025 first-round pick
– 2026 second-round pick
