Looks like KC traded up to 86, Vikings moved out of that spot.

Wow we get KC's 3rd, 4th and 7th. Exceptional trade by Spielman

We arent a team that needs a #### load of 5th round picks. We need talent to supplement what we already have. Why draft a 5th rpubd corner that will probably get cut when you can nab a 2nd rounder C in the 3rd.

Nope. Have the 104th overall. Not sure of the details of the trade yet. I'm really curious where they're going to go with that pick. I could see DE, WR or S.

Wonder where Brantley will get picked. Vikings need a DT.

Non-draft nugget: Source close to FA WR Michael Floyd tells me he’s weighing couple of offers, one being from #Vikings. Likes their chances

Ah I gotcha now. Fair enough.

We'll see how it shakes out. But they traded up and only gave away a 5th, they traded back and got a 4th (plus the 7th).

We won the draft chart calculation on that trade.

Gave up 127 points and got 160 in return.
