Seems to me that more than five weeks out, this was a simple trade of opportunity. The Texans called around fishing for extra picks, the Vikes said, “Sure!”
Now they sit back and see how opportunity falls once more. No need to be in any hurry. And that’s probably how the teams in the top five picks feel as well.
Kids completing their pro days will only refine the outlook.
If nothing else, the Vikes can just sit there and take the best player available at #11 and #23, QB or not.
After all, I can’t imagine that they manage to pick up more than three quality starters in this draft—and that’s if they work some magic with all of those fourth and fifth round picks to move up to, say, the tail end of the second or so.
(Not counting a possible JJ trade)
And without looking, I’m pretty sure the roster still has at least (cough) four holes left to fill. Am I wrong?
Besides, if they don’t pick a QB this year, they can always pick up Rocco next.
