There is no reason for the Vikings to draft Kyler Murray this year

Whether people like it or not, Kirk Cousins is the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings for the next two seasons. Unless he goes down with a catastrophic injury, there is really no reason for the Vikings to consider someone else under center until 2021.

Despite this, some believe that Minnesota should consider using an early-round draft selection this year on a future quarterback, specifically former Oklahoma signal-caller Kyler Murray.

Given Minnesota’s other important needs heading into the 2019 draft, using a pick in the first, second, or even third round on a guy who probably won’t play for another two years is not even a thought they should have.
