Minnesota Vikings: Is NFL Draft or free agency more likely to fill QB void?
2018 NFL Draft: The Options
The 2018 NFL Draft features as many as six potential quarterbacks who could be first-round draft picks. Those players are Josh Allen, Sam Darnold, Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield, Josh Rosen, and Mason Rudolph.
The question is: Which of those players will still be available when the Minnesota Vikings come up at No. 30 overall?
Allen, Darnold, Mayfield, and Rosen are widely believed to be locks to come off the board within the first 11 picks. Crazier things have happened, however, and at least one could still be available at No. 30.
Keep in mind: That’s exactly how the Vikings ended up with Teddy Bridgewater, who went from being a potential No. 1 pick to going No. 32 overall.
In terms of where players are projected, however, four players appear to be more realistic for Minnesota: Luke Falk, Jackson, Rudolph, and Mike White. Falk and White could be available in Round 2, while Jackson and Rudolph could receive Round 1 grades.
The question is: Which quarterback would best fit the Vikings in the 2018 NFL Draft?
