The Minnesota Vikings were at the LSU Pro Day to get their sneak peek at Zach Mettenberger and now it looks like they are bringing in Jimmy Garoppolo for a workout, per Ben Goessling. The Vikings will be busy evaluating all the quarterback talent that is available in this draft. They may not want to use that top selection for the position and could look to fill that need in another round. Garoppolo would be a solid option fro the team in the second round.

Here is the scouting report on Garoppolo from CBS Sports:

"STRENGTHS: Good, not great, height, body type and hand size. Better than adequate arm strength with a snap release that produces some juice. Live arm with his experience coming from a pass-happy offense.Excellent passing vision with quick eyes to scan and a quick, natural delivery. Smart and executes the offense well. Quick intellectual process on the football field. Above average timing with little unnecessary movements and very good pace in his set-up.Quick feet to evade pressure with the pocket mobility to move his lower body with his eyes focused downfield. Gets “happy feet” at times, but shows the ability to reset. Very good touch and overall placement with improved accuracy to all levels of the field throughout his career.Level-headed and always under control with a strong leadership presence. Confident thrower and short memory. Elite career production as a four-year starter at the FCS level."

He would be a solid option to work with Norv Turner in the Minnesota offense. The Vikings have the weapons to work with on offense. Garoppolo just needs to get the ball out quickly and hit his receivers. They would be able to do the rest.
