It might be kind of crazy for the Vikings to use their first-round draft pick on a quarterback, but there’s a case to be made, that’s what the Detroit Free Press predicted.
The outlet had this to say about the pick: “ESPN reported he was unimpressive in combine interviews, but his arm could still get him in Round 1.”
Unimpressive in combine interviews isn’t exactly what you want to hear as a Vikings fan, but it’s also not a deal breaker, and if that hurts his stock and has nothing to do with his on-field performance, then maybe it could actually work in the Vikings’ favor.
There could be a lot of quarterbacks taken in the NFL Draft before Minnesota gets a chance to pick. If that’s the case, and the team still wants a quarterback, then it might be beneficial for a talent like Eason to fall a bit, so that the Vikings could take him.
