LATEST UPDATE: Mock draft experts predict club aren’t done making moves after trade with Houston Texans

Minneapolis — The Minnesota Vikings traded for an extra first-round choice last week, but CBS Sports’ mock draft analysts believe it was only the beginning of a much bigger move.

The Vikings own picks 11 and 23, the latter acquired after a deal with the Houston Texans. While they could potentially stay put and grab two first-round picks, the consensus is that they would package both picks — and perhaps more — to move up higher and take a quarterback. Kirk Cousins left for the Atlanta Falcons in free agency, and while the team signed Sam Darnold as a temporary replacement, he is not the franchise’s future.

Four CBS Sports experts have updated their mock selections since the trade. All of them have the Vikings moving up to the top five for a quarterback. The one expert who hasn’t revised his mock has already predicted the Vikings to make a similar move.

Ryan Wilson, Josh Edwards, and Tom Fornelli anticipate the Vikings will trade to the No. 5 pick, which is presently held by the Los Angeles Chargers, to take Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy

McCarthy is coming off a National Championship win, but his stats lag behind the other top QBs and he wasn’t asked to carry the offense. He’s widely seen as part of the second tier of draftable QBs. In each of the McCarthy scenarios, the top three QBs — Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye — are off the board before the fifth pick.

CBS Sports’ other two experts have the Vikings trading all the way up to pick three, where the New England Patriots are currently slotted. The Patriots are also rumored to be in the QB market, so it may take a haul to get them to move. In both scenarios, the Vikings move up to grab Maye, who was long seen as the No. 2 QB in this class before Daniels made a late rise due to his Heisman-winning play and athletic ability.

The newest mock drafts show two things: It’s no secret that the Vikings aren’t done moving, and if they want one of the top three passers, they’ll most likely have to move up to pick number three. It remains to be seen whether general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah would pay the price to get there.
