The Vikings are among several teams searching for a future franchise quarterback. They may have to contend with the Atlanta Falcons, whose No. 8 overall pick would hold an advantage if the Vikings offered a similar trade package with the No. 11 pick in this year’s draft. If that’s the case, the Vikings may have another asset they could give up to leapfrog the Falcons.
Purple Insider’s Matthew Coller entertained the idea of trading up to the No. 3 spot by offering the New England Patriots something they’ve been deprived of for many years — a star wide receiver.
