The Minnesota Vikings drafted in the back third of the 2023 NFL Draft and opted against picking Kirk Cousins’ eventual replacement. They’ll need to find that quarterback in the coming months, and if it’s not Jaren Hall, then the 2024 NFL Draft could be right up their alley.
The Vikings Need a Quarterback at the Right Time
In the 2023 NFL regular season, head coach Kevin O’Connell will roll with Kirk Cousins as the starter and veteran Nick Mullens as his backup. BYU standout and fifth-round draft pick Jaren Hall is the guy to develop. O’Connell will get plenty of opportunity to see him in practice, and the hope would be that Minnesota doesn’t endure another Mike Zimmer-Kellen Mond scenario.
