If Tua Tagovailoa falls to Vikings in the first round, they should pass

When the Minnesota Vikings begin their journey through the 2020 NFL Draft on Thursday, finding a new starting quarterback is not expected to be one of their top priorities.

The Vikings gave Kirk Cousins a two-year extension this offseason, which means he’s likely going to stick around as their starting quarterback for at least another two years. Minnesota could be on the lookout for a new backup signal-caller during this week’s draft, but that probably wouldn’t happen until one of the later rounds.

So this means that if for some reason, former Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is still on the board when it comes time for the Vikings to make their first draft selection at pick No.
