NFC Rumors: Bears, Packers, Vikings, Michael Penix Jr

A GM tells Jason La Canfora that the Bears will likely “grab whichever of the [top three] receivers is still there,” assuming one is still available at No. 9 overall.

Jason La Canfora says that NFL executives he’s spoken to expect the Packers to be among the teams interested in offensive line help in round one this year.

Sources have told Jason La Canfora that the Vikings are among the teams they believe are most motivated to trade up to No. 4 overall.
If the Vikings are unable to trade up for a quarterback in the early part of round one, La Canfora says some around the league expect them to take either Bo Nix or Michael Penix Jr at No. 11.
“They have to get a quarterback, and they can’t get too cute about it,” a GM tells La Canfora of the Vikings.
According to Art Stapleton, there are rumblings the Vikings have a deal in place to move up in the draft, and Stapleton “would imagine” the Giants know the price should they want to move up.
