The Seahawks have pulled off another trade. ESPN’s Field Yates reports (via Twitter) that Seattle is sending No. 114 to the Vikings. In exchange, Minnesota will send No. 120 and No. 204.
The Vikings will use the pick on Oklahoma offensive guard Dru Samia. The six-foot-five, 302-pound lineman primarily played offensive guard throughout his collegiate career. He started all 14 games in 2018, earning him a second-team All-American nod from the Associated Press.
The Vikings have added a pair of key offensive linemen this offseason. They signed offensive guard Josh Kline before drafting center Garrett Bradbury in the first round.
I understand the philosophy of moving back, but only for a pick outside the top 200?
they also got 120, so they moved down 6 spots for an extra pick
I know but what I’m saying is, how can it be worth the six spots to only additionally gain an over 200 pick? Whatever the trade above this was, that was only 5 spots back and 157 was the bonus pick, which I can understand. But this was one more spot difference and the pick was 50 spots lower
I get what you’re saying.
I wonder also.
Obviously, the Vikings think
a late 6th/early 7th is
worth something. SMH.
The Seahawks are the ones who acquired the extra pick. The Vikings gave up the pick.
It’s not that it’s worth nothing, it’s just that moments later the Jets and Titans pulled off a trade in a near exact same scenario (5 spot drop vs 6 spot drop) and the additional pick was in the 150’s. That makes far more sense than having the extra pick be an additional 50 spots down…
