Although Kirk Cousins signed a two-year extension with the Minnesota Vikings worth a fully guaranteed $66 million, they need to find a development prospect in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Sean Mannion re-signed with the Vikings during this offseason on a one-year, $910,000 deal. But he hardly set the world alight when given the opportunity last season and if their franchise player goes down, the Vikings’ playoff opportunity will vanish.
That might also be the case if a rookie is thrown in at the deep end. But there are plenty of intriguing prospects later on in the draft that could develop into a potential starter and potentially become a replacement for Cousins down the line.
