This is the first player who plays a position that is not a dire need for Minnesota. The team has Kirk Cousins, and adding a quarterback would put the draftee in a backup role. However, I think if Hurts is there in the third round, the Vikings should take him. Hurts is considered a bit of a project, but has shown that he can lead an electrifying offense. And the team needs a backup quarterback. Not every pick has to start 16 games in 2020-21.
