The Media gave their thoughts on the selection
The #Vikings get their developmental QB in BYU’s Jaren Hall. Said earlier this week he was a name to watch in the middle rounds for them; he’d made a positive impression on them in the pre-draft process.

The #Vikings are adding a QB, too: At No. 164, it’s BYU’s Jaren Hall, a favorite among coaches and scouts who slid a bit in part because of his injury history. pic.twitter.com/D0pzsr17hT
