That puts Minnesota in a prime position to mentor a young QB, and the perfect fit seems available in this year’s draft. The best news is that they likely wouldn’t even need to trade up further to ensure they land him.

Nix was one of college football’s most dynamic players last year, finishing third in the Heisman Trophy race.

Nix finished his last year at Oregon with 45 touchdown passes to only three interceptions.
