Minnesota Vikings Overhaul Quarterback Situation, Target Tennessee CB Jermod McCoy in Draft

The Minnesota Vikings are revamping their quarterback situation this offseason following a disappointing season. They drafted J.J. McCarthy but injuries limited his playing time. Sam Darnold stepped in but left for Seattle. The team finished 9-8 but missed the playoffs.

To address their issues, they fired GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and signed Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz. They also re-signed linebacker Eric Wilson and added cornerback James Pierre. The Vikings secondary has been a long-standing problem, allowing receivers to run free.

Looking ahead to the draft, the Vikings hold the 18th pick and may trade up for Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy. Hes projected to go around 12th overall and could help shore up their coverage. They might also consider Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love to pair with aging Aaron Jones and boost their run game.
