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.

?? Where are you getting that??

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.

We don't have 4 third rounders.

Not yet!!

Well, at least Pittsburg will have a bigger first round regret than the Vikings.

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.

This is the part people don’t account for. All the draft trade tools are just that. Tools. They are not the final word. They provide a baseline that you then need to apply to your draft board and come with some sort of integrated decision.

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

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

at least they saved you from the McDuffie pick

Is this right? What did we give up to move back up?
