Justin Jefferson is a Minnesota Vikings wide receiver.
A trade for a new quarterback may be necessary as there is increasing speculation in the NFL that the Minnesota Vikings and Kirk Cousins are divorcing, according to Matthew Coller of Purple Insider on February 5.
A Fox Sports 1 personality To put the Vikings in a strong position to choose one of the best quarterbacks in this next draft class, Colin Cowherd has a proposal.
But doing so comes at a high price.
On February 5, Cowherd stated, “I have an idea,” on “The Herd.” The third choice goes to New England. What is sorely lacking in New England? A dramatist. I’ll give you the top choice from the following year and Justin Jefferson, who will drop from 11 to 3.
In Cowherd’s hypothetical scenario, the Patriots would acquire two picks in addition to the Vikings All-Pro wide out in order to position themselves for their quarterback of the future.
Vikings get:
– 2024 first-round pick (No. 3 overall)
Patriots get:
– Justin Jefferson
– 2024 first-round pick (No. 11 overall)
– 2025 first-round pick
Coherd countered, “You’re not going to advance without giving up something.”
The Vikings wouldn’t trade Caleb Williams of USC for him. However, they might still choose to draft Jayden Daniels or Drake Maye of North Carolina, as Cowherd had them do.
Williams’ position as the best choice is not really threatened by either Daniels or Maye. Furthermore, Maye’s ranking is in doubt due to Daniels’ quick ascent, so whoever goes number two may have just as much of an influence as Williams, who is expected to go first.
