(Detroit, MI) -- The Minnesota Vikings made the first trade in the 2024 NFL Draft, trading their 11th pick for the New York Jets' 10th pick.
The Vikings used the 10th pick to select Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy. According to Sports Illustrated, the Vikings also sent pick No. 129 in the fourth round and pick No. 157 in the fifth round and received pick No. 203 in the sixth round in the trade. McCarthy helped Michigan to a national title this past season, completing 72.3 percent of his passes for 2,991 yards, 22 touchdowns and just four interceptions.
After trading up to grab the 10th pick in the NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings made their second trade of the 2024 first round.
According to ESPN, the Vikings traded their 23rd overall pick, a 2024 fifth-round pick, a 2025 third-round pick and a 2025 fourth-round pick for the Jacksonville Jaguars' pick at No. 17 overall. With the 17th pick, the Vikings selected Alabama pass rusher Dallas Turner. Turner had 10 sacks last season for the Crimson Tide.
With its latest trade, Minnesota has just three selections in next year's NFL Draft.
