Part 1 of a series: Three names to know, one sleeper and when the Vikings are likely to address their offensive line issues kick off our look at the 2024 draft.
The Vikings have drafted four quarterbacks in the first round in their 62-year history, and none higher than the 11th overall pick. That's where they are currently set to pick this year.
The biggest takeaway: The Vikings are trying to create whatever advantages they can in a draft where they need a quarterback and could be vulnerable to teams forcing them to overpay.
Hesitancy to commit to Kirk Cousins occurred under the backdrop of this year's heralded quarterback class. GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah sees the team having many satisfactory draft options.
Ben Goessling and Andrew Krammer discuss the Vikings being "in love with" multiple quarterbacks in this draft, according to general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, in this episode of the Access Vikings podcast.
What could possibly go wrong? A day after presenting the best-case scenarios for the quarterback-needy Vikings, let's take a look at the other side of that equation.
The Vikings have more options by already adding the No. 23 overall pick in a trade to go with their own No. 11 pick. But they are dependent on the moves of other teams.

There will likely be a standout offensive lineman or defensive player available at the 11th pick, leaving their other first-round pick to take a QB. Is that a better move?
Stefon Diggs has been traded from a successful team for the second time in his career. The ending in Buffalo is very similar to how it ended in Minnesota.
A recent mock draft suggested the Vikings would trade No. 11, No. 23 and next year's first round pick to move up to No. 5 and select Michigan's J.J. McCarthy. Is that too much to get 'the quarterback of the future?'
Wes Phillips pleaded guilty in February to careless driving after a December arrest on suspicion of drunken driving. He can return to work April 23, the week of the NFL draft.
General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and head coach Kevin O'Connell are about to make the decisions that will either get them fired or pave a road toward competitiveness and relative career longevity.
Former Vikings receiver Adam Thielen spoke with the Star Tribune recently about finding peace after a frustrating split from the team and Kirk Cousins following him to the NFC South.
On Thursday's Daily Delivery podcast, host Michael Rand and Vikings beat writer Ben Goessling talked about the long hours Kevin O'Connell will be logging in the next month. Plus the Wolves reached 50 victories.
