Vikings add new QB prospect to latest 2024 mock draft.
In a recent 2024 mock draft, the Minnesota Vikings selected LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels.
Yahoo Sports has the Minnesota Vikings selecting current LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels with a first-round pick in next year’s 2024 NFL Draft.
With Kirk Cousins eligible for free agency after the 2023 season, the Minnesota Vikings have become one of the teams that could use the fourth overall pick in next year’s NFL draft. If all goes the way Yahoo Sports’ Nate Tice thinks it will, the Vikings will do just that in the 2024 draft.
In a 2024 mock draft that Tice recently shared, he used his first-round pick to select current LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels from Minnesota. Could Jaden Daniels be the next franchise quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings?
Given how exciting the Vikings’ offense has been in recent weeks with mobile quarterback Josh Dobbs under center, Daniels would be a solid bet next year. At 6-foot-4 and 185 pounds, Daniels’ frame is slightly smaller than that of a starting quarterback in the NFL. But what he lacks in size, he makes up for in skill, especially after joining LSU in 2022. In 25 games at LSU since the start of the 2022 season, Daniels has completed 70.3 percent of his passes for 6,490 yards (259.6 per game), 53 touchdowns and just seven interceptions while rushing for more of 1,899 yards (76 per game) . . …21 points.
So, in less than two seasons at the school, the young quarterback had a total of 74 hits. For someone who plays in the toughest conference in college football, what Daniels has accomplished in an LSU uniform is downright impressive.
With Minnesota unlikely to have a high enough pick to land USC’s Caleb Williams or North Carolina’s Drake May in 2024, Daniels could be a quarterback they’ll want to land with the first pick in the spring future?
