The Minnesota Vikings will reveal their draft choices in about one week after much deliberation about how the team might proceed. General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah used a rambunctious free agency to fortify the roster with new players like Jonathan Allen (DT), Javon Hargrave (DT), Will Fries (OG), Ryan Kelly (C), and others, so this draft is more mysterious per outcome. All roster holes vanished. This draft could bend in half a dozen ways, and no one would be too surprised about any path.

The Minnesota Vikings’ backup quarterback is one of the hottest non-draft topics among fans in April, mainly because the man scheduled to start at QB1, J.J. McCarthy, is inexperienced and recovering from a torn meniscus. The purple team has just two quarterbacks on its depth chart: McCarthy and veteran Brett Rypien. And according to former NFL coach Eric Mangini, that’s not enough, and Minnesota could target Aaron Rodgers or Kirk Cousins yet this offseason — two rather tired theories.

And after Brugler published The Beast this week, his subsequent mock draft connected the Vikings to Texas cornerback Jahdae Barron in Round 1, an absolutely fantastic choice.

The Minnesota Vikings are not directly involved in any rookie quarterback drama during the build-up to the 2025 NFL Draft. That was last year. Minnesota seized its man one year ago, Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy, and he’s on deck to start for the purple team in five months. But other quarterback drama regarding the draft is growing more fervent by the minute. And that only helps the Vikings — because it drives up the trade price of the Vikings’ No. 24 pick.

So, the Vikings are like the only team without a dependable QB2 at the moment. And that's assuming they don't trust Brett Rypien with the job. They might? Because they could be alone in the QB2 market, they could just sign Carson Wentz after the draft or Ryan Tannehill at any
