The Vikings acquired the 22nd pick in the NFL draft from the Bills this offseason, and CBS Sports thinks that pick could be on the move.
The outlet listed the Ravens receiving the 22nd overall pick from the Vikings for the 28th and 92nd overall picks in return as a likely trade scenario in the first round of this year’s NFL Draft.
Here’s some of what it said about the choice:
“The Vikings, who are also expected to move around in the first round, would pick up an extra draft pick while also keeping both of their first-round picks. Minnesota needs both of those picks to address their needs at receiver and cornerback after losing Stefon Diggs and Trae Waynes earlier this offseason.”
If those picks are indeed used on corner depth, I don’t hate the choice of trading back and accumulating more picks. However, I think the team can find value at corner in the second round, and draft talented players who fit positional needs with the 22nd and 25th overall picks.
