It would be very difficult to move off of a QB that has performed that well in your system. If he completely shits his pants in the playoffs, then I'd very seriously consider moving him. If they win one and at least look competitive in the Divisional or get to the NFCC, then I don't think I could let him go.
As it stands right now, the draft really lacks elite potential at QB. I'd likely consider JJ McCarthy at least the #3 QB if he were in this draft, depending on how you view Ward and Sanders. He should still have a lot of value. I'd venture that those two guys will likely go #1 and #2 to the Titans and Browns. I'd think the Giants at #3, Raiders at #6, and Jets at #7 should all be thinking about some sort of package for JJ if the Vikes hold onto Darnold. Maybe a 1st and 2nd or 3rd for JJ and the Vikings' 1st.
My vote right now would be to keep Darnold and trade JJ while you can get a high pick for him and get a difference-maker at DE or something.
The only other players the Vikings need to re-sign are Jones II at DE and Murphy at SCB. I'm not sure the tag is worthwhile on anyone other than Darnold if it's needed.
