Entering the 2019 NFL Draft, there was a glaring need at running back for the Minnesota Vikings after Latavius Murray was signed by the New Orleans Saints and Roc Thomas found himself in legal trouble.
The only real question was when the team would address that position during the draft. Well, it turns out Rick Spielman and the front office thought it was essential to grab a top prospect at the position and used a third-round pick to solidify the position.
Dalvin Cook has shown some trouble to consistently stay on the field and will need to be sure they have someone to both fill in when needed or provide rest for their feature running back.
