It’s no secret that the Minnesota Vikings are in the market for a quarterback after losing Kirk Cousins in free agency to the Atlanta Falcons, and with Sam Darnold signing as his replacement along with having the No. 11 and No. 23 picks in the upcoming NFL Draft, it’s clear that if the Vikes want a QB on Thursday, they’re going to take one.
According to one analyst, there is a specific prospect they’ll have to reach for that they like more than many other teams do.
Ben Volin of The Boston Globe shared (via The Purple Persuasion on Twitter) that the Vikings want UNC quarterback Drake Maye more than the New England Patriots do, saying: “If the Patriots were truly sold on Maye, they wouldn’t consider trading their No. 3 pick. My hunch is that the Vikings want Maye more.
