Minnesota general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah has subtly indicated throughout the offseason that there is a limit to how much of the Vikes’ future he’d mortgage to obtain a franchise quarterback, which in part led to the club getting outbid to retain Kirk Cousins. If Adofo-Mensah desires one of the top QBs in the 2024 draft, however, he’ll have to pay to get high enough — and avoid other clubs like Denver and Las Vegas, who might have designs of leaping in front of Minnesota.
Meeting with Daniels a week before the draft kicks off is the latest sign that the Vikings are doing their due diligence on the incoming quarterbacks to gather as much information as possible for draft night.
