On Thursday, the Minnesota Vikings will be on the clock with the 23rd overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. There has been plenty of speculation about where the team will go with that selection, but the most exciting option is certainly under center. What if they wait, though?
Ultimately the Minnesota Vikings need a successor to Kirk Cousins. He is under contract for just one more season, and the sides have not hammered out yet another extension. With Nick Mullens rostered as his backup, the reality is that Kevin O’Connell needs a talent he can turn to for the future.
