In the 2023 season, the team struggled with a record of 7-10 and missed out on the playoffs. They have multiple draft picks in their arsenal, including two first-round picks, a fourth-round pick, two fifth-round picks, a sixth-round pick, and two seventh-round picks.
Their top needs going into the draft are at the quarterback position, defensive tackle, and cornerback. The team received an extra first-round pick in the trade involving Kirk Cousins, which suggests that they may be looking to trade up for a quarterback of the future.
In their last draft, the team received a C-plus grade with Jordan Addison being the standout rookie who had a successful season with 911 yards and 10 touchdowns. They will look to build on this success in the upcoming draft.
J.J. McCarthy from Michigan is seen as a strong fit for the team in the first round. However, they do not have any Day 2 picks, so they will need to make the most of their selections in Round 1 and beyond.
With uncertainty at the quarterback position, it’s likely that they will target one like McCarthy or look to trade up for a top prospect in Round 1. The success of this draft will be critical for their future success and developing their young roster.
