***
Minnesota Vikings GM Rick Spielman took on his "Trader Rick" personna in the third round. He traded down four times. In doing so the Vikings turned the 18th pick of the third round into a later third and four day 2 picks. Spielman annually sets a target of 10 draft picks. He's now at 12 for this draft. If there's any trading today I'd imagine it's to move up if there's a player that they covet. The Vikings now have the means to do so.
Vikings Picks:
Irv Smith Jr., TE, Alabama
It was widely expected that the Vikings would select a tight end. I was expecting it to happen in the third or the fourth round but then I wasn't expecting Smith to available with the 18th pick of the second round. He's a first round talent. Smith should line up all over the field to create mismatches. The Vikings offense got more versatile and unpredictable.
Alexander Mattison, RB, Boise State
The Vikings needed a back to compliment Dalvin Cook and to replace Latavius Murray. The Vikings' fondness for Mattison was probably seen in the four third round trade backs before they finally selected him. They knew that they could get him with a later pick so why not accumulate a load of extra picks and still get him. Mattison is a powerful back with nice balance, vision, and tackle-breaking talents.
Picks that I liked:
1. Indianapolis Colts-Rock Ya-Sin, CB, Temple
2. New England Patriots-Joejuan Williams, CB, Vanderbilt
3. Minnesota Vikings-Irv Smith Jr., TE, Alabama
4. Houston Texans-Lonnie Johnson Jr., CB, Kentucky
5. Dallas Cowboys-Trysten Hill, DT, Central Florida
6. Los Angeles Rams-Taylor Rapp, S, Washington
7. San Francisco 49ers-Jalen Hurd, WR, Baylor
8. New England Patriots-Chase Winovich, DE, Michigan
9. Kansas City Chiefs-Khalen Saunders, DT, Western Illinois
It's on to the final four rounds. And nine picks by the Vikings. Maybe.
