The Minnesota Vikings drafted Alabama edge Dallas Turner with the 17th overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft. The Vikings traded picks and moved up several spots to secure Turner in this year's draft.

Last year, the Vikings finished their season with a 7-10 record. During the offseason, Pro Bowl defensive end Danielle Hunter left the Vikings and joined the Houston Texans signing a two-year deal worth $49 million. The Vikings were in need of a star pass rusher, and they now hope that Turner can fill that void heading into the 2024 season in an ultra competitive NFC North division with the likes of the Green Bay Packers, Detroit Lions, and Chicago Bears.
