And will they trade up to draft him? It’s inside a month until the NFL Draft, and as always, where the top quarterbacks will go is, as always, a hot topic among fans, the media, and league circles. The recent league meeting that ended today provided some new information and perhaps a bit more clarity regarding some team's intentions, but there is still a lot of uncertainty and misinformation going around as well. So let’s try to separate fact from fiction and see where it leads when it comes to which quarterback the Vikings will draft next month. Caleb Williams to Da...

While they currently have two first-round picks, sitting at #11 and #23, the expectation is that they’re going to use those picks and whatever other ammo they need to part with to move up and select a quarterback of the future. Whatever their plans are, they’re making sure that the best player on the roster...
