Reckless Vikings Draft Speculation Thread

I’m a big fan of the NFL draft, love the mock drafts, trade speculation, etc…

Still almost 3 months away, but what do you think the Vikings will do this draft? We CURRENTLY own the following picks (24, 97, 140 and 161) so in reality, the odds of trading back on one or a few of those picks to acquire more picks is likely…

Here’s a free and simple mock draft website – https://www.profootballnetwork.com/mockdraft

The consensus top 4 needs for the Vikings seem to be some combination of (DT/CB/OL/RB) They also have like 70 million in capspace to spend, so they will likely plug some of those holes via Free Agency…

I think they trade back 2 times in the 1st round acquiring 4-5 additional picks and make their 1st pick somewhere in the mid/late 30’s, take the best DT/OL/RB available…then keep filling holes with BPA at positions of need…it wouldn’t surprise me if they took one of the top 3 RB’s that will likely slip and if they could somehow steal a OL like NDS Grey Zabel in the late 3rd or 4th round that would be awesome…

Go ahead and speculate…

Not a Vikings expert, but I think your guesses seem fairly logical with trading back to get more “shots” at finding the right pieces. They have a ton of cap space but also have quite a few free agents to make decisions on.

Kwesi will screw it up regardless. Pick a bust or trade back for 12 7th rounders just like slick rick.

You can say he hasn’t drafted well but he didn’t exactly sit back and trade back like slick rick this past year.

I think needs are Interior OL/CB currently. The rest can easily be plugged in free agency.
