Vikings: 2021 NFL Draft the time to find Kirk Cousins replacement?

As of this particular point in time, the Minnesota Vikings would hold the third overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

That could be prime real estate for a quarterback like Trey Lance, whose first full season as the starter for the North Dakota State Bison was one for the record books.

Lance had 28 passing touchdowns in 2019 for the Bison, but the most incredible stat is the fact that he had zero interceptions to go along with those 28 touchdown passes.

You’ll take a 28-0 touchdown-to-interception ratio no matter what level the competition.

Lance added 14 rushing touchdowns and was really a featured runner for the Bison throughout the season, something that has become fashionable in the NFL again for the quarterback position.

There is no doubt about Lance’s dynamic skill set, and perhaps a year to watch and learn in the NFL could be exactly what he needs to be set up for success in 2022.
