The Vikings are stacking first-rounders.
Minnesota has secured a second first-round selection ahead of April’s 2024 NFL Draft, agreeing to terms with the Houston Texans on Friday for the No. 23 overall pick, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.
The Vikings, currently owners of the No. 11 pick, also added a seventh-rounder (No. 232) while the Texans collected picks No. 42 and No. 188 and a 2025 second-rounder.
Minnesota, which lost veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins to the Falcons in free agency, could be looking to slide further up the draft board, possibly using a package of first-round picks to make a move to get a QB.
