Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman said Kirk Cousins is still our starting quarterback after the front office selected Texas A&M signal-caller Kellen Mond in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. There s no competition there, Spielman told reporters before being asked whether he alerted Cousins of the pick. . It s just taking another player. It s like, regardless of position, if we take a player in the third round or first round, I m not calling a player and saying, Hey, we may take this guy here.
Cousins is coming off a strong 2020 that saw him complete 67.6 percent of his throws for 4,265 yards with a career-high 35 touchdowns and 13 interceptions while playing all 16 games.
The Houston Texans find themselves in an awkward position heading into the 2021 NFL draft. They only won four games this past season and could use a serious influx of talent.

In a matter of days, the majority of the NFL s 32 teams will enter offseason mode. Within weeks, the rest of the league will follow.
And when that happens, one of the first thoughts that will cross the minds of fans, returning players, coaches, executives and local media surrounding each team will pertain to which difference-making players might be acquirable via free agency, the trade market or the draft.
But we have to be realistic, too. Everybody would jump at the chance to trade for Patrick Mahomes this offseason, but the Kansas City Chiefs aren t exactly likely to make the reigning Super Bowl MVP available.
