2024 NFL Mock Draft: Updated 1st-Round Projections After Vikings, Texans Trade
We've still got more than a month before the 2024 NFL Draft, but a blockbuster trade is already shaking things up near the top of the board.
On Friday, the Minnesota Vikings and Houston Texans agreed to a deal that will land the Vikings an extra first-round pick in this year's draft, while the Texans drop out of the first round entirely while picking up a second-rounder next year.
Now with two first-rounders in 2024 at their disposal, the Vikings could package them and move up the board for a top quarterback prospect, who look to fill multiple needs on either side of the ball with both selections.
Here's an updated look at how the first round of this year's draft could turn out following Friday's big trade:
