2024 NFL Draft: Final Vikings mock draft roundup includes over 800 mock drafts image

The 2024 NFL Draft is finally here! 

After months and months of waiting for the second biggest event on the National Football League calendar, the speculation is finally going to end and we will see who teams select to improve their teams.

The Minnesota Vikings have two first round picks on Thursday at 11th and 23rd overall. They acquired the 23rd overall pick in March after striking a trade with the Houston Texans. That trade has seen a small spike in selections, as there have been around 10 mock drafts each week that have the Vikings picking twice.

In 2023, I collected 545 mock drafts with wide receiver Jordan Addison being the second-most picked player at 52 times. This year, that number is over 800 mock drafts since January 1st with the number one player being Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy selected an astounding 250 times.
