Kirk Cousins is the man now for the Minnesota Vikings. If they want him to achieve maximum success in the window they have, a top quality offensive line is required. He’s not the type of QB who can survive without help. Dalton Risner comes from a program that is quite proven at producing blockers who are capable of playing multiple positions. He could stay at tackle in the NFL thanks to his athletic capability but the odds are teams will see an even brighter future at guard where he can help maintain a clean pocket for Cousins.
