Watch for the trade-up talk to start circling Minnesota and Denver for the next month.
Miller: With Cousins in Atlanta and Russell Wilson in Pittsburgh, the Vikings (No. 11) and Broncos (No. 12) are trade-up candidates. There is considerable buzz about Minnesota trying to move into the top five to secure a quarterback such as McCarthy or potentially Maye/Daniels if either falls past New England. Friday saw the Vikings make a move to add an additional first-round selection (No. 23) from the Texans -- in exchange for 2024 second- and sixth-round picks, plus a 2025 second-rounder. With two first-round picks, the Vikings now own the draft capital to fly up the board for a quarterback. The latest leaguewide rumor has the Vikings trading to No. 4 overall, where the Cardinals are in a sweet spot to trade out with a quarterback-needy team.


The Broncos, on the other hand, are in a weird spot at No. 12 and with no second-round pick to leverage in a move up. The competition for QB4 in this draft is heating up after Minnesota acquired that second first-rounder. The Broncos simply can't compete with the Vikings' draft capital in the 2024 class and would have to blow away a team with 2025 and/or 2026 draft picks in any attempt to trade up. The better move for Denver may be trying to trade down the board to recoup draft picks and select Oregon's Bo Nix somewhere lower in the order. It's that, or roll with Jarrett Stidham and a yet-to-be-added veteran in 2024.
