yes, but the four players they lose a chance to draft in that scenario?

The Titans desperately need an OT.  There will be some very good OTs still available at 11 (as there are 4 potentially taken in the top 10-12 picks).  If they can still get a top-shelf OT and add a 2025 2nd rd pick, that's pretty darn good.  This OT class is very deep, so they don't necessarily have to get native Minnesotan Joe Alt...if they were to get the third best OT in the class, that's not really a drop-off.

ROUND 1, PICK NO. 3: DRAKE MAYE, QB NORTH CAROLINA

The NFL Mock Draft Database considers a trade up from No. 11 to No. 3 as one that only requires a future first-round pick. Using the quarterback tax calculated above, it looks like the Vikings would also have to give up a second-round pick.

Because we’re preserving that pick and because the Vikings don’t have a third-round pick, the only way to make up those 80 points on the Rich Hill chart is to give up the rest of the draft.

The database doesn’t allow that, only allowing the Vikings to trade all of their Day 3 picks except pick No. 190 for some reason. That means the Vikings traded Picks No. 11, 109, 130, 156, 166, and 179 in 2024 — and their first-round pick in 2025 — for Drake Maye.

ROUND 2, PICK NO. 42: TRADE TO THE LOS ANGELES RAMS

We’re left with two picks in the draft, which makes for a very boring mock on a team that needs some more juice. So we’re going to be trading down quite a bit.

ROUND 2, PICK NO. 52: TRADE TO THE TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS

One more pick isn’t enough. We need even more.

ROUND 2, PICK NO. 57: TRADE TO THE BUFFALO BILLS

The hope going in is that this would be the final trade (it’s not). The offerings on the board are pretty tempting at this point. They include defensive tackles Michael Hall and Ruke Orhorhoro, cornerbacks Mike Sainristil and Kris Abrams-Draine, and interior offensive lineman Christian Mahogany.

ROUND 2, PICK NO. 60: TRADE TO THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

This is the first trade that felt like a risk. There are four players who seem like quality selections, and trading down four spots puts all of them in danger. But the machine demands more prospects, so we go through with it.

ROUND 2, PICK NO. 64: TRADE TO THE NEW YORK JETS

The trade-down with the Jets is pretty substantial. This time, the team netted the 72nd overall pick, with the 112th thrown in for the trouble. Technically, this is an even more dramatic win than any of the others.

ROUND 3, PICK NO. 72: KAMREN KINCHENS, S MIAMI (FL)

ROUND 3, PICK NO. 100: MAX MELTON, CB RUTGERS

ROUND 4, PICK NO. 112: GABRIEL MURPHY, EDGE UCLA

ROUND 4, PICK NO. 126: MARSHAWN LLOYD, RB USC

ROUND 4, PICK NO. 129: JAMARI THRASH, WR USC

ROUND 4, PICK NO. 133: TOMMY EICHENBERG, LB OHIO STATE

ROUND 6, PICK NO. 190: LOGAN LEE, DT IOWA

Trading up to take the 4th QB at 5 would be scary but I'm here for it

i think you have to tell yourself it's not that he's the 4th guy in line, it's that he's Top 10 talent.

whether we find that to be true is in the future, but that's the attitude you make the trade with.

In this scenario, the Vikings sent picks 11 and 42, along with a second-round selection in 2025, to the Chargers for picks 5 and 69. The Chargers can still land one of the top cornerbacks or pass catchers in the class while adding extra value for the future.

I'd wonder if I'm hallucinating if the Chargers accepted that

Would it make any sense to trade up before the draft to 5 and then on draft day yet to trade up to 3 or 4 depending on which QB is available but if you can't trade up to get the 3rd QB they could still be almost guaranteed to get the 4th? Or would that just make a team trade to 4 in front of the Vikings?
