The Vikings have their starting quarterback, for better or worse, with Kirk Cousins.
The team is still looking for what could be next and who could back up Cousins in 2021 with Sean Mannion still being a free agent.
Daniel Jeremiah lists Stanford quarterback Davis Mills as a potential fit via the draft. Jeremiah says that Mills could be one of the team’s two third-round picks:
Mills is coming off a great pro day. He threw the ball well during his workout and is very talented. He comes with a small sample size, though, having made just 11 starts at Stanford. He’s had to overcome knee injuries dating back to high school, but there’s a lot to like about him. He can move around and is accurate. In fact, he reminds me of Minnesota’s current QB1, Kirk Cousins. I could see the Vikings as the landing spot for Mills in Round 3.
Mills’ numbers don’t jump off the page. In 11 starts at Stanford, Mills threw for 3,468 yards, 18 touchdowns and 8 interceptions.
We’ll see if the Vikings decide to target Mills, or another quarterback during the 2021 NFL Draft.
