The quarterback position is widely considered the most important position on an NFL football field. So it shouldn’t come as any surprise that NFL.com has the Minnesota Vikings going with a signal-caller in their recently released seven-round mock re-draft.
In this fantasy scenario, general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah didn’t trade out of the No. 12 spot for extra picks in the draft. Instead, he stayed put and selected current Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr to lead the franchise into the future.
Keep in mind, the entire concept of this re-draft is about putting together a team with the best chance of winning right now. So it’s definitely understandable why the Vikings might lean Carr with this pick instead of a high-ceiling, second-year player like Trevor Lawrence.
