Every year, ESPN’s Bill Barnwell creates a mock draft of the first 32 picks, where every pick is a trade.
OK, so it’s almost a certainty that in the actual NFL Draft this season, there won’t be that many first-round trades.
However, some of the trades Barnwell lists for the Vikings seem viable for the team, so maybe one of them could work if Minnesota wanted to make a move in the draft, it could do it in one of these three ways.
Moving up to get a better pick
The first one he listed was one with the Atlanta Falcons. The Vikings give up the first-round pick at No. 22, and two third-round picks. The price to move up just six spots in the draft seems a little high to me. However, Barnwell thinks the Vikings could do it to take Florida corner CJ Henderson, which would make sense.
