Vikings Exploring Trade Up

The Vikings are talking to teams about a trade into the teens, according to Ben Goessling of the Star Tribune (Twitter link).

Minnesota, which currently holds both the 22nd and 25th overall selections, may have to give up their second-round pick in order to move up, per Goessling. At present, it’s unclear if the Vikings would be willing to do that, but it will likely depend on what prospects are still available.

Most mock drafts have indicated the Vikings will target wide receivers and cornerbacks in the first round of the draft. During the offseason, Minnesota traded wideout Stefon Diggs to the Bills, released cornerback Xavier Rhodes, and lost CBs Trae Waynes and Mackensive Alexander in free agency.
