NFL Draft 2024 Rumors: Vikings Would Be 'Comfortable' Picking Bo Nix in 1st Round

The Minnesota Vikings would be "comfortable" with using a first-round pick on Oregon quarterback Bo Nix if the team's plan to trade up doesn't work out Thursday, a source told Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson. The Vikings currently hold the No. 11 and No. 23 picks of Thursday's draft. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday the team has expressed interest in trading those selections for the New England Patriots' No. 3 pick. In the case the Patriots decide to hold onto the pick and draft either LSU's Jayden Daniels or North Carolina's Drake Maye, the source indicated "the Vikings are comfortable standing down in trade talks" and using one of the existing first-round selections to draft Nix, Robinson reported.
