Kirk Cousins might be the present for the Minnesota Vikings, but Malik Willis could be the quarterback of the future, depending on how things unfold at the 2022 NFL Draft.
Unless the team comes to terms on a major extension with Cousins, it would be tempting if the top quarterback prospect is there for the taking when the Vikings are up at No. 12. Obviously, the odds aren’t in their favor that 11 other teams would pass on a possible game-changing talent like Willis.
NFL.com’s media draft analyst Lance Zierlein gives the Vikings a 15 percent chance to land the Liberty quarterback on night one. The only other teams ahead of them are the Pittsburgh Steelers, Washington Commanders and Denver Broncos.
