Vikings still have one glaring need and it's not what you think
The Minnesota Vikings are far from a complete team. Most of the Vikings' depth has players on rookie contracts in those spots. When identifying the Vikings' biggest need , the defensive line seems rather obvious. Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison are an awesome team on the outside, but the Vikings' receiving corps really falls off after those two.

Expert Commentary
Getting the quarterback without having to move up too far in the draft is a solid result for the Vikings. It may not be the quarterback they originally wanted, but it's still a solid prospect to build around and he's walking into a great situation.

Expert Commentary
Turner’s draft slide officially comes to an end with the Vikings trading up to get him in an effort to replace Danielle Hunter. Turner isn’t a finished product, but he’s a rugged defender that managed to run a 4.46 40-yard dash at the NFL combine. He’s got the potential to be a dynamite edge defender in the NFL.
