The Vikings have struck a deal with the Texans to bring in another first-round pick in next month’s draft.

Per multiple reports, Minnesota has acquired the No. 23 overall pick and No. 232 in the seventh round. In exchange, Houston has received No. 42 in the second round, No. 188 in the sixth round, and a second-round pick in 2025.

I wonder if they're eyeballing trying to move up for a QB. Trade with NE?

Some believe the Pats are trying to move into the 1st spot for that very thing themselves.

It’s not too early to acquire No. 23 with an eye toward moving it. The Vikings now have pick No. 11 and pick No. 23. They could be hoping to package those picks with other compensation in an effort to go higher in the draft, presumably to get the franchise quarterback they haven’t had since Fran Tarkenton retired.
