Thanks to the ledger loss of a quarterback and elite pass rusher (Kirk Cousins and Danielle Hunter), the Vikings are currently projected to receive two third-round compensatory picks in the 2025 NFL Draft.  That should help as a significant deal was made last week. In a swap of draft picks with the Houston Texans, the Vikings gained a first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. The details of the deal:

Vikings receive:
First-round pick (23rd overall)
Seventh-round pick (232nd overall)

Texans receive: 
Second-round pick (42nd overall)
Sixth-round pick (188th overall)
2025 Second-round pick

The Vikings now have the draft capital to make an even bigger move up the draft board for a quarterback. 

It’s been an active first week of the offseason.
