The Trade: Patriots Get No. 13 Overall Pick, 2024 Round 2 Pick (No. 44 Overall), 2025 Round 1 Pick, 2026 Round 1 Pick, QB Aidan O'Connell

The Fallout: A QB Falls to Minnesota at No. 11

The likely list of teams interested in trading up for a quarterback includes the Giants, Vikings, Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders. The Patriots probably won't be particularly interested in moving down any further than Las Vegas' selection at No. 13.

But the Raiders could be interested in making the jump up to No. 3 if Daniels isn't the Commanders' pick.

"The worst-kept secret in the league right now is that Daniels and the Las Vegas Raiders desire one another," CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones wrote on Tuesday.

While the Vikings might offer the more enticing trade package in this scenario, there's no guarantee that they'll value QB3 as much as Las Vegas could value Daniels. The Raiders could potentially sweeten the pot by including Aidan O'Connell, who flashed plenty of promise as a rookie in 2023.

Adding O'Connell to a QB room that features Bailey Zappe and Jacob Brissett would at least give New England options in 2024.

And if the Raiders are the team moving up for a quarterback, Minnesota may have a legitimate chance of landing the fourth quarterback at No. 11. The Giants could also be in play, but New York might not view QB4 as an immediate upgrade over Jones.

Las Vegas and Denver are the most realistic threats to jump Minnesota, and Denver's recent acquisition of Zach Wilson could mean that Sean Payton isn't interested in making an aggressive move.

While Denver's QB room of Wilson, Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci leaves plenty to be desired, it provides enough insurance to justify a flier on Penix, Nix or North Carolina's Spencer Rattler later in the draft.

A lot would have to fall into place for it to happen—starting with Washington not taking Daniels at No. 2—but Minnesota might have a chance to come away with McCarthy or Maye without giving up the 23rd pick.
