Despite being pegged to take a quarterback by the majority of NFL draft media, the Minnesota Vikings aren't just focusing on quarterbacks at the top of the NFL draft.
On Monday, the Vikings are hosting multiple NFL draft prospects, including Texas DT Byron Murphy II. They are also set to host Alabama EDGE Dallas Turner.
Alabama edge Dallas Turner, who could be the first defensive player off the board, is visiting the #Vikings today. Minnesota owns the No. 11 pick (and No. 23).

Turner is widely viewed as one of the best edge rusher prospects and it's easy to see why. He has the size and athleticism to thrive in the NFL. The big question will be whether or not he can maximize his potential.
At Alabama, he struggled in a major way at times because he didn't quite have a cohesive plan of attack. When he did, it was lights out.
Will the Vikings end up taking a player in Turner? It's not an impossibility if the Vikings can't trade up for a quarterback.
