Way too much hand wringing going on. The Vikings are going to get at least 7 of the top 100 players and many draft experts have gushed about the solid first 100 guys in this draft. The #66 pick is just two picks out of the second round, this was not a bad trade, just not flashy and obviously the way you guys wanted it to go.

I don’t mind the trade back to get a third and a better 2nd. I’ll get pissy if we trade back 4ths and 5ths for 6ths and 7ths

David we gave up 20 spots in the first round to move up 12 in the second. A third round pick isn't in the realm of proper compensation for that.

Trade chart says it is a slight edge to us. In no shape or reality is it a Hershel walker trade. They are the Lions.

You know what comes out perfect.

DET gets 12

We get 32 and 34 and swap 3rd rounders.

Do think that’s what it was SUPPOSED to be?

Meanwhile Detroit had a great day. Got a heck of a player at 2. And good value from us.

If we had traded our first and third instead of second ... maybe

Oh no ... I just felt cold icy fingers grab my spine ...

What if our whole draft strategy designed to get peewee Linderbomb?

Instead of Jameson, Davis, Hamilton, etc etc

Yeah. We have no 4th rounders.

By my math we have 4 picks in the top 100.

Sorry Bill, that would be six guys with our 4 third rounders. That is a lot of ammo to move up later if we see someone who slipped out of the first. I just don't see this as the end of the world, sure, I really liked Hamilton, but I am sure we will get solid players if we stick and pick from here on out.

Another chart, #12 = 1200 with the return at 1430.

Edit - we gave up 440 more which would be 1640 if we gave up the 2nd.

Something doesn't sound right.

Can't say I'm a fan of the trade, but... weirdly, although it's a loss on Rich Hill's Chart, it's a win on PFF's and F-S.

Ignore Jimmy Johnson's, which everyone knows is nuts.

Maybe in their mock drafts, the Vikes liked the selection of players that showed up in the 30's. Like some players in positions of need often fell. So they felt they could squeeze out more value.

I would have been thrilled with any of those three. We were handed them on a silver platter.

We don't have 4 third rounders.
